A bounder in court? (8)

I believe the answer is:

kangaroo

This clue is a double definition.

'a bounder' is the first definition.
(animal which bounds around)

'court?' is the second definition.
(kangaroo court is a kind of court)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for kangaroo that I've seen before include "Illegal court of marsupial origin?" , "Pouched mammal" , "impromptu kind of court" , "Large Australian marsupial" , "Progress with poor clutch control" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
