Wind round one with defective hearing? (8)
I believe the answer is:
mistrial
This clue might be a double definition.
'wind round one' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'defective hearing?' is the second definition.
(as in a legal hearing)
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mistrial that I've seen before include "Court procedure made void by error" , "Invalid court procedure" , "Court case invalidated by procedural error" , "Inconclusive or invalid court proceedings" , "Court proceedings gone wrong" .)
