Admission from Charlie in tricky cases (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

access

'admission' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'charlie in tricky cases' is the wordplay.
'charlie' becomes 'C' (phonetic alphabet).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'tricky' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cases' with letters rearranged gives 'acess'.
'c' going inside 'acess' is 'ACCESS'.

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for access that I've seen before include "Way of entering or leaving" , "fit" , "Retrieve information" , "Means to enter a place" , "Retrieve, say data stored in computer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
