HIS not HES was indeed a typo. The explanation of 11A was not! I took that clue as a double definition since there actually is something in legal practice referred to as a “client’s right in court”. I like your explanation much more though and have little doubt but that it is what Cincinnus intended.

I do think that 5 down works well. ‘Orbit’ can refer to the cavity in the skull in which the eye sits.

Agree with you again about this puzzle. Actually 2D deserves a mention as Cincinnus has got Rugby into the clue where Arnold was. I was stuck for a long time in the top left corner and in fact didn’t really understand why for INITIATE until your blog.

A couple of typos – HIS not HES in 26A and 11A is LIEN = RIGHT in CT = COURT.

I have some difficulty with 5 down, EYEBALL. Is that really in orbit? I had EYEWALL which is certainly in orbit but I don’t recall WALL sounding like shout or cry. WAIL is the nearest – I thought maybe you Americans pronounce it worl?

cheers
John
