Demeure réservé l'article 8

23:35 Sep 2, 2018 

with the 15 to 20 samples of Swiss French legalese i've found

"Demeure réservé l'article 8"

would mean that this article 8 would still be applicable in situations that are not covered by some other disposition, to which this article 8 would an exception.

...for more text/context, but it really will not help. There are various conditions, among them Article 8, which appears to be over-arching and general. Then further down it says, in a single sentence, Demeure réservé l'article 8.
"Article 8 is reserved" does not make alot of sense to my mind.

This IS the complete sentence

20:19 Sep 1, 2018 

is needed, not so much for its content but to see the whole structure of the sentence.

If we don't know for sure whether "demeure" is a verb or a noun [COULD be either], and if it's a verb we don't know what/who is the subject of the verb "demeurer" could be this "article 8" or it could something entirely else!

Elements that seem "obvious" in context can be very far from obvious in a free-floating segment.

Another element that makes quite a difference: if it's Swiss French, all bets are off - often some rather unexpected meanings are given to apparently simple and obvious terms!

Even the name they've given to Swiss French is "very obvious": le français fédéral. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Français_fédéral

a full sentence -what comes before this??

Pour moi, le sens est que les dispositions de l'article en question sont maintenues, que l'article 8 reste valide, est préservé (la partie n'abandonne pas la clause). Un peu comme quand on dit "Tous droits réservés" "All rights reserved". Par exemple:

Exemption from the provisions of Article 567 of the Civil Code is specifically reserved.

When the Fr is more or less off the charts, it's usually because it's bounced off another language. The joys of Ch and Be translations.
