Section 2674. Separability

If any provision of any section of this title
  or the application thereof  to  any  person  or  circumstance  shall  be
  adjudged  invalid  by  a  court of competent jurisdiction, such order or
  judgment shall be confined in its operation to the controversy in  which
  it was rendered, and shall not affect or invalidate the remainder of any
  provision  of  any  section of this title or the application of any part
  thereof to any  other  person  or  circumstance  and  to  this  end  the
  provisions  of  each  section  of  this  title are hereby declared to be
  severable.
    Insofar as the provisions of this  title  are  inconsistent  with  the
  provisions  of  any other law, general, special or local, the provisions
  of this title shall be controlling.
