Uniform passed -- just (4-6)
I believe the answer is:
even-handed
'just' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'uniform passed' is the wordplay.
'uniform' becomes 'even' (I've seen this before).
'passed' becomes 'handed' ('hand' can be a synonym of 'pass').
'even'+'handed'='EVEN-HANDED'
(Another definition for even-handed that I've seen is " Fair, impartial".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
