I am left with 35 across
...During lawsuit, writer wanting to hammer select group? (12,2 words)

I have ?en?gn t?lot? The only thing that fits is" benign tylote" The second word means a microscopic spike found on certain sponges.
Any help at all would save me from insanity!

Pendente lite. during the process of litigation ('During lawsuit').

...and Pen, writer, Dent, hammer and Elite, select group.

Thanks Malone. I see now that I had ignored a plural in one clue and have to rethink another.

17 D is just another word for what I think you have - they're together in Chambers.

Can anyone parse 20ac - I have an answer meaning lime tree - but I can't see what it has to do with "it grows wild in this mere"

Please can you give the full clue?
I do not have the crossword.

20 A. Lime tree? It grows wild in this mere (4)

NB - 'this' is italicised.

Thanks Malone.
I also have a 4 letter word meaning lime tree that contains 'it' but the rest is defeating me at the moment.

The answer + mere is an anagram of lime tree.
