Legal wrong (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tort

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tort that I've seen before include "Trot after legal offence" , "Trot after legal wrong liable to damages" , "A legal wrong open to claim for damages" , "Act for which damages can be claimed" , "Private or civil wrong open to damages" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, the Newsday, the King Feature Syndicate, the USA Today, The New York Times and the LA Times.
