Start a legal action against (3)

I believe the answer is:

sue

(Other definitions for sue that I've seen before include "Seek damages" , "Take case against in court" , "Take proceedings against (a person)" , "Bring a legal action" , "Proceed legally against (someone)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
