Hostelry I call chaotic with rules for everyone (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

public law

'rules for everyone' is the definition.

'hostelry i call chaotic with' is the wordplay.
'hostelry' becomes 'pub' (I've seen this before).
'chaotic' is an anagram indicator.
'with' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'i'+'call'='icall'
'icall' with letters rearranged gives 'licla'.
'pub'+'licla'+'w'='PUBLIC LAW'

I've seen this clue in The Times.
