Right claimed by confused Latino in court (2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

on trial

'in court' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'right claimed by confused latino' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'claimed by' indicates putting letters inside.
'confused' indicates an anagram.
'latino' anagrammed gives 'ontial'.
'r' placed within 'ontial' is 'ON TRIAL'.

(Other definitions for on trial that I've seen before include "Facing action" , "like a footballer seeking club?" , "Undergo court proceedings - being tested" , "Subject to being found satisfactory" , "Undergoing scrutiny" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
