(2) Where any Ordinance, or any part of an Ordinance, is repealed, all proclamations, orders, notices, rules, and regulations, issued or made in virtue thereof shall remain in force, so far as they are not inconsistent with the provisions of the repealing Ordinance, and, unless the contrary intention appears, until they shall have been repealed or have been replaced by proclamations, orders, notices, rules, or regulations, as the case may be, issued or made under the provisions of the said repealing Ordinance.

12. The repeal of any enactment shall not, unless the contrary intention appears,-

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where the penalty, forfeiture, or punishment imposed by the repealing Ordinance is heavier than that imposed by the repealed enactment, the provisions by which the lighter penalty, forfeiture, or punishment is imposed shall, unless such repealing enactment otherwise provides, be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.
