separability clause

Read a random definition: judgment by default

A quick definition of separability clause:

Separability Clause: A separability clause is a legal provision that states that if any part of a contract or law is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining parts of the contract or law will still be valid and enforceable. This means that even if one part of the contract or law is deemed illegal or unenforceable, the rest of the contract or law can still be upheld and enforced.

A more thorough explanation:

A separability clause is a legal provision that states that if any part of a contract or law is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest of the contract or law will still remain in effect.

For example, a contract between two parties may have a separability clause that states that if one part of the contract is found to be illegal, the rest of the contract will still be valid. This means that the parties can still be held accountable for the parts of the contract that are legal and enforceable.

Another example is a law that has a separability clause. If a court finds that one part of the law is unconstitutional, the rest of the law will still be in effect. This ensures that the government can still enforce the parts of the law that are constitutional and necessary.

The purpose of a separability clause is to prevent an entire contract or law from being invalidated just because one part of it is found to be invalid. This helps to ensure that the parties involved can still benefit from the parts of the contract or law that are valid and enforceable.
