Section 5 Non-binding contract termsC1I1
(1)
A term of a standard occupation contract is not binding on a contract-holder to the extent that (but for this section) it would require a prohibited payment to be made, or a contract for services to be entered into, or a loan to be made, as described in section 2 or 3.
(2)
But the contract continues, so far as practicable, to have effect in every other respect.
