Legal documents read out for Swiss hotelier (4)
I believe the answer is:
ritz
'swiss hotelier' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'legal documents read out' is the wordplay.
'legal documents' becomes 'writs' (writ is a kind of legal document).
'read out' shows a homophone (sound like).
'writs' sounds like 'RITZ'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for ritz that I've seen before include "Upmarket hotel" , "The Diamond as Big as the ___ (F. Scott Fitzgerald)" , "top hotel" , "Puttin' on the -- (song)" , "glamour" .)
