A court deed? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

act

'deed?' is the definition.
(an action)

'a court' is the wordplay.
'court' becomes 'ct' (abbreviation used in road names).
'a'+'ct'='ACT'

(Other definitions for act that I've seen before include "turn" , "Feat" , "Ordinance" , "Perform on stage" , "Perform - part of a play" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
