(a) Any statute, law, or rule which is inconsistent with the provisions of this Title (or other Titles of the Guam Code Annotated as the same are enacted into law) on the same subject is repealed to the extent of such inconsistency. (b) This repeal or abrogation does not revive any former law heretofore repealed, nor does it affect any right already existing or accrued, or any action or proceeding already taken, except as in this Code provided. SOURCE: Added by P.L. 15-104:1 (Mar. 5, 1980). Former Government Code § 20 updated to refer to this Code and to its enactment title by title. 2024 NOTE: Subsection designations added pursuant to authority granted by 1 GCA § 1606. COMMENT: According to Sutherland, § 36.14, this type of Section is required in order to insure the exclusivity of the new Code with respect to the matters covered in it. (Sutherland, Statutes and Statutory Construction, 1972 ed.) Guam first adopted its codes (after the Organic Act gave civilian government to Guam) by positive law in 1952. Since that time most legislation has been by amendment to the Codes. The Legislature has adopted several new Codes in their entirety. These include the Uniform Consumer Credit Code [Title 14], the Uniform Commercial Code [Title 13], the Criminal and Correctional Code [Title 9], the Criminal Procedure
Code [Title 8], the Evidence Code [Title 6] and the Probate Code [Title 15]. These have been incorporated into the Guam Code Annotated with no alteration except for the few changes in form required to conform the same to this Code.
