Prescribed by law (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

statutory

'prescribed by law' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for statutory that I've seen before include "Of written law as to a trusty" , "Legally prescribed" , "Try-outs at being required by law" , "Relating to written law" , "In accordance with written law" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Irish Times and The Independent.
