12. The repeal of any enactment shall not, unless the contrary intention appears--
(a) revive anything not in force or existing at the time at which the repeal takes effect; or
(b) affect the previous operation of any enactment so repealed, or anything duly done or suffered under any enactment so repealed; or
(c) affect any right, privilege, obligation or liability acquired, accrued or incurred under any enactment so repealed; or
(d) affect any penalty, forfeiture or punishment incurred in respect of any offence committed against any enactment so repealed; or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where the penalty, forfeiture or punishment imposed by the repealing Ordinance is heavier than that imposed by the repealed enactment, the provisions by which the lighter penalty, forfeiture or punishment is imposed shall, unless such repealing enactment otherwise provides, be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.
