This clue might be a double definition.

'it's allowed' is the first definition.
(to let is to allow or permit)

'court' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for let that I've seen before include "Rent out: grant" , "Permitted" , "Allow or rent" , "Permit; lease" , "Permit or rent" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
