Official orders squad to be picked up outside court
I believe the answer is:
edicts
'official orders' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'squad to be picked up outside court' is the wordplay.
'squad' becomes 'side'.
'to be picked up' says the letters should be written backwards.
'outside' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'court' becomes 'ct' (abbreviation used in road names).
'side' back-to-front is 'edis'.
'edis' going around 'ct' is 'EDICTS'.
(Other definitions for edicts that I've seen before include "Decrees by authority" , "Official orders issued by authority" , "Orders proclaimed by authorities" , "Commands" , "Proclamation" .)
