N.Y. Labor Law § 714: Separability

§ 714. Separability. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, or part of

this article or the application thereof to any person or circumstances,

shall, for any reason, be adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction

to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the

remainder of this article, and the application thereof to other person

or circumstances, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause,

sentence, paragraph, or part thereof directly involved in the

controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered and to the

person or circumstances involved. It is hereby declared to be the

legislative intent that this article would have been adopted had such

invalid provisions not been included.
