Disturbance resolved in court (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ruction

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

'resolved in court' is the wordplay.
'resolved' indicates an anagram.
'in'+'court'='incourt'
'incourt' with letters rearranged gives 'RUCTION'.

(Other definitions for ruction that I've seen before include "Find a disturbance in cut iron" , "Racket" , "Noisy disturbance" , "Ruckus, rumpus" , "Uproar" .)
