Implacable attorney lodges complaint (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bleat

'complaint' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'implacable attorney lodges' is the wordplay.
'lodges' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (the answer is lodged within the clue).
'BLEAT' can be found hidden inside 'implacable attorney'.

(Other definitions for bleat that I've seen before include "Cry of a sheep or calf" , "Cry like a 16" , "Whine" , "Make complaint" , "Cry of animal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
