rightful

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'just' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for rightful that I've seen before include "Proper - legitimate" , "According to justice" , "Legitimate, fitting" , "Having a legally established claim" , "Lawful" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
