Dismissed correctly, without qualification (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

outright

'without qualification' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'dismissed correctly' is the wordplay.
'dismissed' becomes 'out' (dismissed in cricket).
'correctly' becomes 'right' (synonyms).
'out'+'right'='OUTRIGHT'

(Other definitions for outright that I've seen before include "Openly and frankly" , "Total" , "Absolute - utter" , "Completely and thoroughly" , "straight away" .)
