Sec. 1-12. - Severability of parts of Code.

It is hereby declared to be the intention of the council that the sections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses and phrases of this Code are severable, and if any phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph, or section of this Code shall be declared unconstitutional, invalid or unenforceable by the valid judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, such unconstitutionality, invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any of the remaining phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs and sections of this Code, since the phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs and sections would have been enacted by the council without the incorporation in this Code of any such unconstitutional, invalid or unenforceable phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph or section.
