Response concerning lawsuit (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reaction

'response' is the definition.
('reaction' can be a synonym of 'response')

'concerning lawsuit' is the wordplay.
'concerning' becomes 're'.
'lawsuit' becomes 'action' ('action' can be a synonym of 'lawsuit').
're'+'action'='REACTION'

(Other definitions for reaction that I've seen before include "Feedback" , "Chemical change or response" , "Into care (anag)" , "Chemical change or backlash" , "Response to stimulus from creation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
