'so what's new? court is to exercise' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'discretion' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'discretion' could be 'tact' (I've seen this before) and 'tact' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'show' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
