Justified in changing their night (2,3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

in the right

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

'changing their night' is the wordplay.
'changing' is an anagram indicator.
'their'+'night'='theirnight'
'theirnight' anagrammed gives 'IN THE RIGHT'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for in the right that I've seen before include "justified" , "Not wrong" , "Maintaining a justifiable position" , "Conservatives" , "Supported by law (or reason)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Irish News.
