Somehow avoids breaking laws, issuing denials (10)
I believe the answer is:
disavowals
'denials' is the definition.
(disavowal is a kind of denial)
'somehow avoids breaking laws issuing' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'avoids' is 'disavo' which is within the answer.
an anagram of 'laws' is 'wals' which is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
