Greenwich, Conn., Town Code ch. 4, art. 11 § 4-140
Unconstitutionality clause
Operative Text
Should any section, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase of the regulation be declared unconstitutional or invalid for any reason, the remainder of said regulations shall not be affected thereby.
Greenwich Town Code ch. 4, art. 11 § 4-140 is a severability provision, meaning that if any individual part of the regulation — whether a section, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase — is found unconstitutional or legally invalid, the rest of the regulation continues in full force. This type of clause is a standard legal mechanism designed to preserve as much of a law as possible when one portion is struck down. The provision ensures that a successful legal challenge to one element does not automatically void the entire regulatory framework.

Staying informed about any legal challenges to the regulation helps property managers understand which, if any, specific provisions may be affected at a given time.
