Elevated playing area where appeals can be heard? (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

high court

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'where appeals can be heard?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'elevated playing area' is the wordplay.
'elevated' becomes 'high' (I've seen this before).
'playing area' becomes 'court' (court is a kind of playing area).
'high'+'court'='HIGH COURT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for high court that I've seen is " Chancery Division is part of this".)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
