English term

Upheld

English Tech/Engineering Business/Commerce (general)
I am translating email templates for a money transfer company, the emails are mostly about customers' complaints and how the company deals with them. On the top of each template, there are instructions on when to use the template and one of the instructions says that the template should be used "When customer is unhappy with our previous response - Upheld or Not Upheld".

I am not sure I understand the exact meaning of the word "upheld" in this context, so any help ismuch appreciated. Thank you very much.

I think it means whether the customer's complaint was accepted (or approved), or not.

Thanks, Sheila! Yes, useful, the present tense is uphold.
agree Charles Davis : Exactly; or to put it another way, if the customer's complaint is upheld, the company admits that the complaint was valid, that the customer had reason to complain.
