Disturbance in court perhaps (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ruction

'disturbance' is the definition.
(I know that ruction is a type of disturbance)

'in court perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates an anagram.
'in'+'court'='incourt'
'incourt' is an anagram of 'RUCTION'.

(Other definitions for ruction that I've seen before include "Racket" , "Find a disturbance in cut iron" , "Uproar" , "Disturbance, quarrel" , "In court (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail, The Irish Independent and The Telegraph.
