legal restrictions
Rules limiting conduct
Legal restrictions are rules imposed by law that limit what people or organizations can do.
The phrase typically appears in contexts where activities are permitted but bounded: legal restrictions on campaign contributions, legal restrictions governing the sale of firearms.
Legal restrictions may also prohibit certain conduct entirely: The country has strict legal restrictions against foreign ownership of land.
