Quick Summary of Restriction

In legal contexts, a restriction refers to a limitation or condition imposed on certain rights, actions, or activities. Restrictions may be imposed by laws, regulations, contracts, or other legal instruments to control or regulate behaviour, protect rights, or achieve specific policy objectives. For example, zoning laws may impose restrictions on the use of land in certain areas, while employment contracts may contain restrictions on activities that employees can engage in both during and after their employment. Restrictions can vary widely in scope and application, and their enforceability may depend on factors such as their reasonableness, clarity, and compliance with applicable laws.
