My account could be seen as contempt of court (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

contumacy

'contempt of court' is the definition.
(contumacy is a kind of contempt of court)

'my account could be' is the wordplay.
'could be' indicates anagramming the letters.
'my'+'account'='myaccount'
'myaccount' is an anagram of 'CONTUMACY'.

'seen as' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
