15 U.S.C. § 77z — Separability

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice
If a court strikes down part of this law, or one application of it, the rest still stands. Other people and situations under that same provision stay covered.
This is a "severability" clause. If a court rules that any part of this chapter is invalid — or rules that applying some part of it to a particular person or situation is invalid — that ruling doesn't take down the rest of the chapter. The rest of the law keeps working, and the same provision still applies normally to other people or situations it wasn't found invalid for.

If any provision of this chapter, or the application of such provision to any person* or circumstance, shall be held invalid, the remainder of this chapter, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid, shall not be affected thereby.
