Act Four: Owl flies into arena for judgement (5,2,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

court of law

'arena for judgement' is the definition.

'act four owl flies' is the wordplay.
'flies' is an anagram indicator.
'act'+'four'+'owl'='actfourowl'
'actfourowl' is an anagram of 'COURT OF LAW'.

'into' acts as a link.

(Another definition for court of law that I've seen is " Action-packed venue".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
