The Boyod Doctrine

The Boycott Doctrine refers to the principle that individuals or entities have the right to refuse to participate in activities, transactions, or associations they find disagreeable or unethical. In legal terms, it often pertains to the idea that businesses or individuals can choose not to engage with certain companies or causes without legal penalty, supporting their moral or political beliefs. This doctrine underscores the importance of freedom of association and expression, allowing for peaceful protest or disagreement by withholding support or participation, while balancing foundational rights with legal and contractual obligations.
