Result of case of extradition ending with appeal (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ensue

'result' is the definition.
(to ensue is to occur or result)

'case of extradition ending with appeal' is the wordplay.
'case of' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (outsides of).
'ending with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'appeal' becomes 'sue' (I've seen this in another clue).
'extradition' with its middle removed is 'en'.
'en'+'sue'='ENSUE'

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ensue that I've seen before include "Befall" , "Happen afterwards as a result" , "Follow later" , "Come to pass" , "Follow subsequently" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
