English Commercial Law - boilerplate clauses (Severance)
A severance clause, which some contracts may contain, purports to provide the court the authority to strike out any clause or portion of a clause that is, for whatever reason, unconstitutional or invalid. The clause's goal is to guarantee that the remainder of the agreement will be enforceable after the unlawful sections have been removed. It is frequently claimed that severance clauses are only marginally useful. It is crucial to understand that the courts will not rewrite the contract or change its fundamental terms through the use of severance. If the violating clauses are at the heart of the contract, the court will disregard the clause. On the other hand, whether or not a severance clause is incorporated in the agreement, the court has the authority to sever a clause.
