Policy
Pol´i`cy
POLICY, PUBLIC. By public policy is meant that which the law encourages for
the promotion of the public good.
2. That which is against public policy is generally unlawful. For
example, to restrain an individual from marrying, or from engaging in
business, when the restraint is general, in the first case, to all persons,
and, in the second, to all trades, business, or occupations. But if the
restraint be only partial, as that Titius shall not marry Moevia, or that
Caius shall not engage in a particular trade in a particular town or, place,
the restraint is not against public policy,, and therefore valid. 1 Story,
