Lawful action, such as an agreement consciously agreed to by two or more entities, establishing lawful accountability. For example, an apartment lease legally binds the lessor and the lessee. An illegal action, such as forcing, tricking, or coercing a person into an agreement, is not legally binding.
It lacks the character of law if it is not. in some degree 'binding', that is, it must be a means of independent control that affectively limits the. acts of the entities subject to it. To that degree, law must be independent of politics.
