'endlessly confusing legal storm' is the definition.
'gale' can be an answer for 'storm' (a gale is a windy storm). I'm unsure of the 'endlessly confusing legal' bit.

'endlessly confusing legal storm' is the wordplay.
'endlessly' indicates the central letters (the ends of the words are removed).
'confusing' becomes 'taking amiss' ('take amiss' can be a synonym of 'confuse').
'legal storm' becomes 'ale' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).

'g'+'ale'='GALE'
