Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / employment contract
Italian term or phrase: completare
This is from an employment contract and I am having trouble with the word "completeranno" at the start of the sentence. Any suggestions are appreciated.
I translated the second "completeranno" as "close".
Many thanks

replace/remedy
Explanation:
This is a standard "invalid provisions" clause, and I usually say something like "replace any invalid or unenforceable provisions... remedy any omissions". I don't think "close" works for the second one.

completare le clausole non valide / le lacune
supplement the invalid clauses / close the gaps or lacunae


Explanation:
close does work for the second instance and preferably not translatable as loopholes.

In English law, the 'blue pencil test' would mean that a court would strike down the nugatory provision of a severable contract and let th rest of the contract stand. That's not so with an 'inseverable' so non-splittable contract.

Example sentence(s):
  • IATE: it occorre completare con il testo seguente il testo dell'articolo ..., paragrafo ... Council en the following shall be added to Article ..., paragraph ... Council to supplement (paragraph)
  • substitution of the invalid or impracticable provision or in order to fill in the omission

execute


Explanation:


Execute legal definition of Execute
Search domain legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/executehttps://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/execute
execute. v. 1) to finish, complete, or perform as required, as in fulfilling one's obligations under a contract or a court order. 2) to sign and otherwise complete a document, such as acknowledging the signature if required to make the document valid.
Sounds like a modified "severability clause". Basically it says that if any clause is inapplicable, the parties will undertake to execute the contract" in a manner fit to ensure the achievement of its goals. Severability legal definition of severability
Search domain legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/severabilityhttps://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/severability
severability the rule of construction of contracts that allows a court to ignore a part of a contract that would render it in some way defective and to read instead what is left. It has been applied to restrictive covenants where, if the words are capable of being so read, the court will ignore a severe restriction and allow a lesser restriction.
