Answers concerning legal wrongs (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retorts

'answers' is the definition.
(I know this)

'concerning legal wrongs' is the wordplay.
'concerning' becomes 're' (both can mean on a particular topic).
'legal wrongs' becomes 'torts' (legal term).
're'+'torts'='RETORTS'

(Other definitions for retorts that I've seen before include "Sharp replies or rejoinders" , "laboratory equipment" , "Counters" , "Makes witty or angry reply" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
