Court disputed jury's conclusion, creating uproar (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

outcry

'uproar' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'court disputed jury's conclusion' is the wordplay.
'disputed' indicates an anagram.
'conclusion' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'jury' is 'y'.
'court' with letters rearranged gives 'outcr'.
'outcr'+'y'='OUTCRY'

'creating' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for outcry that I've seen before include "Public uproar" , "Anguished chorus" , "Furious protest" , "Hullabaloo" , "Sea eagle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
