The repeal of any ordinance or portion thereof or any prior municipal code by the adoption of this code shall not affect or impair any act done or right vested or accrued, or any proceeding, suit or prosecution had or commenced in any cause, before such repeal takes effect; but every such act done, or right vested or accrued, or proceeding, suit or prosecution had or commenced, shall remain in full force and effect to all intents and purposes as if such repeal had not taken place. No offense committed and no liability, penalty or forfeiture, either civilly or criminally incurred prior to the time when any such ordinance or part thereof shall be repealed by the adoption of this code, shall be discharged or affected by such repeal; but prosecutions and suits for such offenses, liabilities, penalties or forfeitures shall be instituted and proceeded with in all respects as if such prior ordinance or part thereof or prior municipal code had not been repealed.
