restraint of trade

Preventing of free competition in business by some action or condition such as price-fixing or the creation of a monopoly. The U.S. has a long-standing policy of maintaining competition among business enterprises through antitrust laws, the best-known of which, the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, declared illegal “every contract, combination…or conspiracy in restraint of trade or commerce.”
