Institute legal proceedings (3)

I believe the answer is:

sue

'institute legal proceedings' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for sue that I've seen before include "Take court action" , "Prosecute at law" , "Take a casa against (3)" , "Start proceedings against (someone)" , "Litigate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
