Following proper procedure (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

duly

'following proper procedure' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for duly that I've seen before include "As a matter of course" , "Suitably" , "Following proper procedure" , "In proper form, time" , "In a proper manner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
