Rejected sensible restraining court orders (6)
I believe the answer is:
enacts
'orders' is the definition.
'rejected sensible restraining court' is the wordplay.
'rejected' is a reversal indicator.
'sensible' becomes 'sane' (I've seen this before**).
'restraining' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'court' becomes 'ct'.
'sane' back-to-front is 'enas'.
'enas' placed around 'ct' is 'ENACTS'.
(Other definitions for enacts that I've seen before include "Brings into law" , "Passes formally into law" , "Turns a bill into law" , "sanctions" , "Performs" .)
