Hearings in case due to be rescheduled (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

audiences

'hearings' is the definition.
('audience' can be a synonym of 'hearing')

'in case due to be rescheduled' is the wordplay.
'to be rescheduled' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'rescheduling' mean this (I've seen this in other clues)).
'in'+'case'+'due'='incasedue'
'incasedue' is an anagram of 'AUDIENCES'.

(Another definition for audiences that I've seen is " Sad Eunice found among stage watchers".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
