Article 1184 of the French Civil Code

Where the cause of nullity affects only one or more clauses of the contract, it entails nullity of the entire act only if that clause or those clauses constituted a determining element of the commitment of the parties or of one of them.

The contract is maintained when the law repudiates the unwritten clause, or when the purposes of the disregarded rule require its maintenance.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1184

Lorsque la cause de nullité n’affecte qu’une ou plusieurs clauses du contrat, elle n’emporte nullité de l’acte tout entier que si cette ou ces clauses ont constitué un élément déterminant de l’engagement des parties ou de l’une d’elles.

Le contrat est maintenu lorsque la loi répute la clause non écrite, ou lorsque les fins de la règle méconnue exigent son maintien.
