This must be ruled out of court, mustn't it? (7,8)
I have l.a.i.g .u.s.t.o.
This has to be 'leading question' but why?
And if not, then what?

I'm definitely not a robot

'Leading questions' aren't allowed in court, in examinations, cross-examinations etc.

The clue itself is a leading question

I think that is the answer.
Not allowed in court and adding “mustn’t it?” to a statement is (by example) a mean’s of doing just that.

Thanks, jono and buddy - I like that extra dimension to the clue, answer!

Very many thanks.
Happy New Year !

I've managed to finish this delightful puzzle in (for me) record time, but I can't parse 7d.
"Born in penury and delivering pure rough diamonds (15)."
I think the answer is 'underprivileged' but I can't parse it.

Anagram of 'delivering pure' + d for diamonds.
