Request for relief (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

appeal

(Other definitions for appeal that I've seen before include "Petition to a higher court" , "Earnest or urgent equest" , "Try to have a court case reheard" , "Petition or attraction" , "Contest a verdict" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
