20 Across - "Punter's legal right in court" (6). I have C-I-N- and the suggested answer is "CLIENT".

I haven't asked for justification on an RT clue for some time, but apart from being a lawyer's client in a court case, where's the compiler coming from?

Asalways, I'm prepared for my idiocy to shine through!

a lien is a type of legal right, generally regarding property, inside ct for court

Many thanks for your answer - as always it makes complete sense!

I had leanings for the "inside court" angle but couldn't follow it through.

"Lien" must now enter my list of words to drop into conversation.
