Bending the rules, with final judgement to follow (6)
I believe the answer is:
result
'follow' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'bending the rules with final judgement' is the wordplay.
'bending' indicates an anagram.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'final' indicates one should take the final letters.
The final letter of 'judgement' is 't'.
'rules' is an anagram of 'resul'.
'resul'+'t'='RESULT'
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for result that I've seen before include "Final score" , "'Outcome, consequence (6)'" , "Final outcome" , "Effect - outcome" , "'Outcome, upshot (6)'" .)
