Right after litigation, women damaged garden equipment (9)
I believe the answer is:
lawnmower
'garden equipment' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'right after litigation women damaged' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'litigation' becomes 'law' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'damaged' is an anagram indicator.
'women' is an anagram of 'nmowe'.
'law'+'nmowe'='lawnmowe'
'r' put after 'lawnmowe' is 'LAWNMOWER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lawnmower that I've seen before include "Grass-cutter" , "cutting equipment" , "It has blades for cutting blades!" , "Grass cutter" .)
