Severability
Operative Text
If any part, section or portion of this Article is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be null and void, the remainder shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 6-10.2 of Stamford Code of Ordinances ch. 6, art. II is a severability clause, meaning that if any individual part of Article II is struck down by a court as legally invalid, the rest of the Article continues to operate as if the invalidated portion never existed. This type of provision is standard in legislation and is designed to preserve the overall regulatory framework even when specific components face legal challenges. The rule itself does not impose any obligations or grant any rights beyond ensuring the Article's structural durability.
