15 U.S.C. § 80b–19 — Separability

submitted 86 years ago by ch. 686 to r/title-15-COMMERCE-AND-TRADE · 51 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

If a court strikes down one part of this law, or strikes it down only as applied to certain people or situations, the rest of the law still stands. The struck-down provision also keeps applying to everyone else it wasn't invalidated for.

This is a severability clause. Suppose a court holds one provision of this subchapter invalid — either invalid entirely, or invalid only as applied to certain people or situations. That doesn't affect the rest of the subchapter. And it doesn't affect that same provision as applied to other people or situations the court didn't rule on — that provision keeps working for them.

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