Is returning it to a lower court overturning a ruling?

This sounds more like as described - "redo it". Overturning would be this court literally "over turning" and saying adblock is piracy.

    Yes. The article only links to it in German but "Werbeblocker IV / Ad Blocker IV" on July 31 was the overturning case.

    Axel previously tried twice in 2018 and 2023 and failed. Now that it is overturned, he is going to the Higher Regional Court of Hamburg to get a new ruling.

    However I don't speak German or live in Germany, this is my understanding of this article and these court cases.
