(a) Where any provision of this article conflicts with a substantive provision of an act pertaining to a particular agency, the latter shall prevail.
(b) The provisions of this article are not intended to confer different or additional powers or jurisdiction on hearing authorities governed hereby; in this regard, this article shall be construed to be procedural rather than substantive.
(c) The provisions set forth herein shall prevail over any agency rule of procedure and in the event of conflict, the latter shall be amended to conform with this article; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to limit or restrict a hearing authority from adopting additional rules of procedure as will implement this article and the substantive provisions under which it operates so long as they are not in conflict with this article.
(d) No action taken hereunder shall be declared invalid on the basis of procedural irregularities absent a finding of a denial of substantive due process. Substantial compliance with this article shall be sufficient. (1978 L.M.C., ch. 30, § 1; 1984 L.M.C., ch. 24, § 1.)
