Took to court (4)

I believe the answer is:

sued

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for sued that I've seen before include "taken to court" , "Started legal proceedings against (someone)" , "Prosecuted" , "Brought an action against" , "Took legal action against" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the USA Today, the King Feature Syndicate, the Universal, The Star Tribune, the Newsday, the LA Times, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post.
