§ 20-157. Severability.


Latest version.
  • In any section, subsection, sentence, term, or exception of the article, or any application thereof to any person or circumstance is adjudged to be unconstitutional or invalid; such adjudication shall not affect the validity of any remaining portion of this article or its application to any other person or circumstance. The city council does not intend a result through the enforcement of this article that is absurd, impossible of execution or unreasonable. Council intends that the article be held inapplicable in such cases, in any, whether its application would be unconstitutional under the Constitution of the State of North Carolina or under the Constitution of the United States of America.
