enforceability
Can be compelled
Enforceability is the quality of being capable of enforcement—that is, whether a rule, contract, or legal provision can actually be compelled or carried out by authorities.
Courts regularly assess the enforceability of contracts, asking whether the terms are clear enough and lawful enough to be upheld.
The enforceability of the non-compete clause was questionable.
Something may exist on paper but lack practical enforceability if there's no mechanism or will to enforce it.
