severability doctrine

severability doctrine
If promise sued on is related to an illegal transaction, but is not illegal in and of itself, "severability doctrine" applies, and recovery should not be denied, if aid of illegal transaction is not relied on or required, or if promise sued on is remote from or collateral to illegal transaction, or is supported by independent consideration. Sherwood & Roberts-Yakima, Inc. v. Cohan, 2 Wash.App. 703, 469 P.2d 574, 578, 582
