No process, action, judgment, execution or proceeding shall
abate or be discontinued by reason of the death, removal from office
or vacancy in office of any judge, but another judge shall proceed
to hear, try, determine and give judgment in and upon the same and
upon all matters and things pending and undecided or not acted upon.
The presumption of regularity shall attach to the proceedings,
judgments, orders and final orders of this court, and every fair intendment
shall be made in favor of its jurisdiction.
The provisions of this article relating to the District Court
and procedure therein shall be liberally construed in furtherance
of justice.
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part thereof
of this article shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair or invalidate
the remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to the
clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part thereof directly involved
in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered.
