Takes to court (4)

I believe the answer is:

sues

'takes to court' is the definition.
('sue' can be a synonym of 'take to court')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for sues that I've seen before include "Takes to court" , "Proceeds legally against" , "Prosecutes" , "Takes legal action against" , "Institutes legal proceedings against" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the LA Times, The New York Times, the USA Today, the Newsday, The Mirror and The Star Tribune.
