公序良俗

English translation: Public order

Japanese to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Law (general)
Japanese term or phrase: 公序良俗
(Overdue for sleep, I've been siezed by a massive brain fart.
Somebody help.)
Glova has a ton of entries for this, but none of
them strike me (or what's left of me) as the correct
legalese we'd find in an English document.
Here's the sentence:
"公序良俗に反する行為、またはその恐れのある行為".

Thanks guys. Leave me something nice to wake up to in
the morning.

English translation:Public order
Explanation:
I'm not certain about the translation, but it seems to me that this is the natural phrase we would use in English.

You might phrase the entire thing as "a disturbance to public order" or maybe "causing public disturbance" (or committing acts with a likelihood therof)...
