Tunnel man damaged, causing cancellation (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

annulment

'cancellation' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'tunnel man damaged' is the wordplay.
'damaged' indicates an anagram.
'tunnel'+'man'='tunnelman'
'tunnelman' anagrammed gives 'ANNULMENT'.

'causing' is the link.

(Other definitions for annulment that I've seen before include "cancellation" , "Declaration of invalidity, of a marriage say" , "dissolution" , "recall" , "Invalidation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
