s 77 Effect of repeal
Where a written law repeals in whole or in part any other written law, then, unless the contrary intention appears, the repeal shall not— (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or existing at the time at which the repeal takes effect; or (b) affect the previous operation of any written law so repealed or anything duly done or suffered under any written law so repealed; or (c) affect any right, privilege, obligation or liability acquired, accrued or incurred under any written law so repealed; or (d) affect any penalty, forfeiture or punishment incurred in respect of any offence committed against any written law so repealed; or (e) affect any investigation, legal proceeding, or remedy in respect of any such right, privilege, obligation, liability, penalty, forfeiture or punishment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 law had not been passed.
