The provisions of this part shall be liberally construed in order to effectuate the purposes of this part.

If any clause, sentence, paragraph, or part of this part or application thereof to any person, financial institution, or circumstance shall, for any reason, be adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the remainder of this part and the application thereof to other persons, financial institutions or circumstances but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered and to the person, financial institution, or circumstance involved.
