He won't ring when upset and at fault (2,3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

in the wrong

'at fault' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'he won't ring when upset' is the wordplay.
'when upset' indicates anagramming the letters.
'he'+'wont'+'ring'='hewontring'
'hewontring' is an anagram of 'IN THE WRONG'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for in the wrong that I've seen before include "Guilty of error" , "At fault" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
