Determined action - sue for reconstruction (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tenacious

'determined' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'action sue for reconstruction' is the wordplay.
'for reconstruction' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'action'+'sue'='actionsue'
'actionsue' is an anagram of 'TENACIOUS'.

(Other definitions for tenacious that I've seen before include "Holding or sticking firmly" , "refusing to give up" , "Dogged" , "Persistent in holding on" , "Determined" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
