N.Y. Insurance Law § 2711: Severability

§ 2711. Severability. If any word, clause, sentence, paragraph,

subdivision, section or part of this article shall be adjudged by any

court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not

affect, impair, or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be

confined in its operation to the word, clause, sentence, paragraph,

subdivision, section or part thereof directly involved in the

controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered. It is

hereby declared to be the intent of the legislature that this article

would have been enacted even if such invalid provisions had not been

included herein.
