Wait in court, present at table (5,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

serve up

'present at table' is the definition.

'wait in court' is the wordplay.
'wait' becomes 'serve' (I've seen this before).
'in court' becomes 'up'.
'serve'+'up'='SERVE UP'

(Other definitions for serve up that I've seen before include "Offer" , "Present for consumption" , "Bring to table" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
