Rule 18 Severability

If a court decides that one part of these rules is invalid or can't be used, that doesn't mean the whole set of rules falls apart. The rest of the rules still stand and can still be used as normal.

This is basically a backup plan built into the rules. It means courts can strike down just the one problem part, and everything else keeps working the way it was intended. People relying on the collaborative law process don't have to worry that one bad provision will undo the entire system.
