INTERPRETATION.
(c) affect any right, privilege, obligation, or liability acquired, accrued, or incurred under any enactment so repealed; or
(d) affect any penalty, forfeiture, or punishment incurred in respect of any offence committed against any enactment so repealed;
or
(e) affect any investigation, legal proceeding, or remedy in respect of any such right, privilege, obligation, liability, penalty, forfeiture, or punishment as aforesaid; and any such investigation, legal proceeding, or remedy may be instituted, continued, or enforced, and any such penalty, forfeiture, or punishment may be imposed, as if the repealing Ordinance had not been passed.
Provided that where the penalty, forfeiture, or punishment imposed by the repealing Ordinance is heavier than that imposed by the repealed enactment, the provisions by which the lighter penalty, forfeiture, or punishment is imposed shall, unless such repealing enactment otherwise provides, be applied if the Court decides to inflict any punishment.
13. When any Ordinance which repeals in whole or in part any earlier Ordinance is itself repealed, such last repeal shall not be construed as reviving the enactment previously repealed, unless such revival be expressly enacted.
14. Where any Ordinance repeals and re-enacts, with or without modification, any provisions of a former Ordinance, references in any other Ordinance to the provisions so repealed, shall, unless the contrary intention appear, be construed as references to the provisions so re-enacted.
15. Where any statute of the Imperial Parliament repeals and re-enacts, with or without modification, any provisions of a former statute of the Imperial Parliament, references in any Ordinance to the provisions so repealed, shall, unless there is any provision in the repealing statute from which the contrary intention shall appear, be construed as references to the provisions so re-enacted.
16. Any Ordinance which amends, repeals, or adds to, the provisions of a former Ordinance shall, unless the contrary intention appear, be read and construed as forming part of the Ordinance so affected.
