I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'special language there' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'some whole gales expected' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'LEGALESE' is hidden within 'whole gales expected'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for legalese that I've seen before include "formal language" , "it's hard for most to understand" , "Bar talk" , "Solicitor's jargon" , "contract wording?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
