Chapter IV.

 

Of the Repeal of Laws.

 

§20.  The repeal of any law shall not be construed to revive any other law which has been repealed, unless it be so clearly expressed.  Laws may be repealed either entirely or partially by other laws.

 

§21.  The repeal of a law is either express or implied; it is express when it is literally declared by a subsequent law; it is implied when the new law contains provisions contrary to, or irreconcilable with, those of the former law.

 

§22.  The repeal of any law shall, in no case, affect any act done, or any right accruing, accrued, acquired or established, or any suit or proceeding had or commenced in any civil case, before the time when said repeal shall take effect.

 

§23.  No suit or prosecution pending at the time of the repeal of any law, for any offence committed, or for the recovery of any penalty or forfeiture incurred under the law so repealed, shall in any case be affected by such repeal.
