Catching up with court case (11)
I believe the answer is:
overhearing
'catching' is the definition.
('overhear' can be a synonym of 'catch')
'up with court case' is the wordplay.
'up' becomes 'over'.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'court case' becomes 'hearing' (I've seen this before).
'over'+'hearing'='OVERHEARING'
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
