Legal definition for Indian law research
Definition
Black-leg. To call a man a 'black-leg' is not actionable unless it can be shown that the word was understood by the bystanders to mean 'a cheating gambler liable to be prosecuted as such', Barnett v. Allen, (1858) 3 H&N 376. The term is applied to a man who refuses to join, or follow the ruling of, a Trades Union in times of disputes between employer and employee.
