Portuguese term or phrase: descaracterizing

Ter-se-á, nesta hipótese, uma acessão invertida, em que a construção, ou a plantação, passará a ser considerada como principal, descaracterizando a regra de que o acessório segue o principal.

In the part that says, "descaracterizing the rule that the accessory follows the principal", in my understanding, what is being said is that the principal will take precedence over the rule that the accessory follows the principal.

What I need is a good translation here, please.

Thanks!
