Order from the court (4)
I believe the answer is:
writ
'order from the court' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for writ that I've seen before include "Veteran composed" , "Legal document (usually issued)" , "Legal document issued by an officer of the court" , "Legal or formal document" , "Formal command of law court requiring certain action" .)
