Law/Patents | | English term or phrase: severability | | A provision in a contract that preserves the rest of the contract if a portion of it is invalidated by a court. |
| | | clausula de separabilidad | Explanation:
These are standard severability clauses/provisions:
ENGLISH
Severability Clause.
If a provision of this chapter or its application to a person or circumstance is held invalid, the invalidity ****does not affect other provisions**** or applications of this chapter that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and, to this end, the provisions of this chapter are severable.

SPANISH
ARTICULO XXII.
SEVERABILIDAD
Sección 1. En caso de que se determine que cualquiera estipulación esté sin validez, ***las demás estipulaciones continuarán en vigencia***.

However, that page makes me suspicious, a search only produces 2 references, both the same organisation and 'non-Spanish' in origin. Moreover my legal dictionary doesn't contain 'severabilidad'
I was the previous contributor who translated this as 'terminación' but I was referring to 'severance pay' (finiquito). This is not the meaning here.
The best the law dic came up with was :
'severable contract' = contrato separable o divisible.
I think that's possibly your translation, because your context for 'serverability', is exactly as described in the extracts above. Essentially, one invalid part of the contract does not invalidate the entire contract, hence the contract can be considered as 'separable' or divisible'
I FINALLY found a reliable confirmation- the EU -->
Article 14 Effect, modification, term and ****severability
Artículo 14 Efecto, modificaciones, duración y ****separabilidad
I checked this and found, FINALLY, this!:
Articulo 20.-
Clausula de separabilidad
Si un tribunal con juridisccion competente declarase institucional cualquier articulo, inciso, subinciso, seccion, parrafo o clausula de esta Ley, dicha declaracion no tendra efecto sobre los demas articulos, incisos, subincisos, secciones, parrafos o clausulas de la misma.

1 hr divisibilidad
Explanation:
No sé si a los abogados les parecerá bien el término, o si severabilidad se usa en su círculo, pero yo siempre he traducido la palabra en cuestión como divisibilidad y nunca me han reclamado, además se entiende perfectamente.
Suerte, María Alejandra

2 hrs divisibilidad
Explanation:
El diccionario jurídico de Guillero Cabanellas de las Cuevas y Eleanor Hoague, uno Licenciado en Economía y Doctor en Ciencias Jurídicas, Profesor Titular de la Universidad de Buenos Aires, Profesor Adjunto de la Universidad de Illinois, etc, y la otra abogada, miembro del colegio de abogados del estado de Wahington, tienen como entradas: severability clause y explican que es la cláusula mediante la cual se dispone que un elemento nulo o inválido de un contrato o ley puede separarse de estos mientras se mantiene la vigencia del resto de las disposiciones. Y la otra entrada es "severability of contract": divisibilidad de un contrato.

3 hrs divisibilidad
Explanation:
A mi me ha aparecido en ciertas traducciones y he utilizado el término divisibilidad sin problemas. Es un término que se entiende perfectamente y se corresponde con el de la lengua origen.
