Crossword Genius

Legal case resulting from instruction to shoot (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

action

I believe this is a double definition.

'legal case' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'instruction to shoot' is the second definition.
('action' is an instruction to shoot on a film set)

'resulting from' is the link.

(Other definitions for action that I've seen before include "Carry out" , "It is said to speak louder than words" , "Deed or legal proceeding" , "war?" , "Watch operating mechanism" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
