Pauly - you need to take the last TWO words of the clue, and surround the fourth word. If you get my drift.

Hi chrise
No it’s not a palindrome. It’s a straight synonym of the third word of the clue.

Thank you.
Will have to have a thunk about this.

Aaaah, got it now - had the right answer but not parsed correctly.
Thank you.

Thanks rogissimo - still baffled!

Chrise
Think boats as well as the third word.

The solution is a now obsolete legal practice.

Penny drops. Never heard of it, though Google tells me there was a 1962 film of that name.

Like Brendan I romped away with this then ground to a halt in the SW corner. Got there with the help of this forum - thanks all. FOI 1d, LOI 16 which was obvious once I’d finally got 13d. My COD was 13a - very satisfying.

Hello all, despite all your help, 16a is the last one still unsolved .... any further hints please?
