7 U.S.C. § 511o — Separability

This section explains what happens if a court decides part of this chapter is invalid. Suppose a judge rules that one provision of this chapter is invalid — either the provision itself, or the way it was applied to a specific person or situation. That ruling does not wreck the rest of the chapter. The rest of the chapter stays valid. It also means the same provision can still apply in other situations, to other people, as long as it wasn't found invalid there too. Each provision, and each application of it, stands or falls on its own.
