With which court proceedings ensue? (7)
I believe the answer is:
service
'ensue?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I can't see how they can define each other.
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for service that I've seen before include "tree" , "following 28 [SILVER]" , "start of action in court" , "funeral, say" , "Work done by one for the benefit of another" .)
