: Unless it's a criminal case, this is the right meaning, at least in Argentina. For civil procedures we don't talk about re-opening a case.

: Yes, and I don't think "archivar" necessarily means to close a case.

This is what happens in Argentina, for example:
Let's say you get divorced. When the divorce is granted you get your final decree. Then, the file goes to the "archivo". If anything happens in years to come (for example you want to take your child from that previous marriage to live to another country), the file is "desarchivado" and you file what we call "incidente" into the same file. The file isn't reopened, because it was never really CLOSED. In criminal cases, though, cases are closed; therefore, if new evidence is presented in the case, the judge may decide to reopen it.
