In France I set up English court in exile (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eject

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

'in france i set up english court' is the wordplay.
'in france i' becomes 'je' ('I' in French).
'set up' says the letters should be written in reverse (in a down clue, letters go up).
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'court' becomes 'ct' (abbreviation used in road names).
'je' in reverse letter order is 'ej'.
'ej'+'e'+'ct'='EJECT'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for eject that I've seen before include "Video button" , "Finally leave plane" , "bounce" , "Expel, chuck out" , "Dismiss" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
