Enforcement of a non-disclosure agreement, or NDA, that is a part of larger agreement to settle a real dispute between two parties seems sound enough. An NDA by itself — not attached to a larger agreement (a naked pact) — ought to be invalid since all it would do is keep ideas and information from the public. “Hush money,” like “blackmail,” offends basic notions of public policy.
