Bounder going to palace for partial justice (8,5)
I believe the answer is:
kangaroo court
'partial justice' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both groups as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'bounder going to palace' is the wordplay.
'bounder' becomes 'kangaroo' (animal which bounds around).
'going to' says to put letters next to each other.
'palace' becomes 'court' (court can mean a royal palace).
'kangaroo'+'court'='KANGAROO COURT'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kangaroo court that I've seen before include "dodgy hearing" , "Where the law is taken into irregular hands" , "Tribunal at which a fair hearing is impossible" , "Unofficial tribunal" , "Hastily, illegally convened tribunal" .)
