Misfortunes of relaxed obligations (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

casualties

'misfortunes' is the definition.
(I know this)

'relaxed obligations' is the wordplay.
'relaxed' becomes 'casual' (I've seen this before).
'obligations' becomes 'ties' (I've seen this in another clue).
'casual'+'ties'='CASUALTIES'

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for casualties that I've seen before include "Victims" , "Injured people" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
