7 U.S.C. § 457 — Separability

submitted 100 years ago by ch. 725 to r/title-7-AGRICULTURE · 73 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

If a court strikes down part of this chapter as unconstitutional, the rest of the chapter still stands. The same is true if it's ruled invalid for just one person or situation. This section also does not change two other listed sections of the law.

This section is a single, undivided "separability" (severability) clause. If any provision of this chapter is declared unconstitutional, or if applying some provision to a particular person or circumstance is held invalid, that does not affect the rest of the chapter. The remaining provisions stay valid, and the challenged provision still applies normally to other people and other circumstances not covered by the ruling. The section also protects two other statutes. Nothing in this chapter is meant to, or may be read to, modify or repeal sections 291 and 292 of this title.

If any provision of this chapter is declared unconstitutional or the applicability thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the validity of the remainder of the chapter and the applicability of such provision to other persons and circumstances shall not be affected thereby, and nothing contained in this chapter is intended nor shall be construed, to modify or repeal any of the provisions of sections 291 and 292 of this title.
