Took to court (4)

I believe the answer is:

sued

'took to court' is the definition.
('sue' can be a synonym of 'take to court')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for sued that I've seen before include "taken to court" , "Started legal proceedings against (someone)" , "Prosecuted" , "Brought an action against" , "Took legal action against" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the King Feature Syndicate, the USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, the LA Times, The Mirror, the Newsday, The Star Tribune, The Washington Post and The New York Times.
