Judge badly interrupting our time back in Peruvian city (8)
I believe the answer is:
trujillo
'peruvian city' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'judge badly interrupting our time back' is the wordplay.
'judge' becomes 'J' (abbreviation for judge).
'badly' becomes 'i'll' ('ill' can be adverbial as in 'ill-advised').
'interrupting' indicates putting letters inside.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'back' is a reversal indicator.
'our'+'t'='ourt'
'ourt' reversed gives 'truo'.
'j'+'ill'='jill'
'jill' going inside 'truo' is 'TRUJILLO'.
'in' is the link.
