Appropriate gear for action? (7)
I believe the answer is:
lawsuit
This clue might be a double definition.
'appropriate gear' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'for action?' is the second definition.
(legal action)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lawsuit that I've seen before include "Court case" , "Legal dispute" , "The process of bringing action in legal court" , "Process of bringing dispute or claim before the courts" , "Legal case" .)
