Unfair to stop miscarriage of justice (8,6)
I believe the answer is:
wrongful arrest
'unfair to stop miscarriage of justice' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'unfair to stop' is the wordplay.
'unfair' becomes 'wrongful' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'to stop' becomes 'arrest' (arrest is a kind of stop).
'wrongful'+'arrest'='WRONGFUL ARREST'
