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 New York Times, the Universal, The Washington Post, the USA Today, the LA Times, the King Feature Syndicate, the Newsday, The Wall Street Journal, The Mirror and The Star Tribune.
