commercial activity exception

The commercial activity exception refers to a legal principle that limits certain laws or regulations from applying to activities that are primarily commercial or business-related. This means that if an activity is mainly for commerce or profit-making, it may not be subject to specific rules that govern other types of activities, such as government functions or personal conduct. The exception recognizes that commercial activities often operate under different standards and priorities, allowing businesses to conduct their operations with more flexibility. Essentially, it provides a legal carve-out for the commercial nature of certain activities.
