`1`Overrule `2`
"Legal Lexicon":
OVERRULE - To annul, to make void. This word is frequently used to signify that a case has been decided directly opposite to a former case; when this takes place, the first decided case is said to be overruled as a precedent and cannot any longer be considered as of binding authority.
The term overrule also signifies that a majority of the judges have decided against the opinion of the minority, in which case the latter are said to be overruled.
