You could lose the case or the other party could disappear. This happens in almost every fraud case, i.e. very frequently.

A new potential court-ordered opposite transaction is not what people think of when they hear reversible.

It's just a credit and a debit whenever it is. A reversal before it settles isn't actually much more real.
