Peers reviewed before court honour (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

respect

'honour' is the definition.
(respect is a kind of honour)

'peers reviewed before court' is the wordplay.
'reviewed' indicates an anagram (To look at again and re view).
'before' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'court' becomes 'ct'.
'peers' anagrammed gives 'respe'.
'respe'+'ct'='RESPECT'

(Other definitions for respect that I've seen before include "Regard, deference" , "Admiration felt for another's good qualities" , "Comply with - deference" , "Appreciate - consideration" , "Feeling of deep admiration" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
