Is there any limit on the penalty that can be inflicted under the law in force at the time of the commission of an offence?
No, there is no limit on the penalty that can be inflicted under the law in force at the time of the commission of an offence. The text states: "No person shall be convicted of any offence except for violation of a law in force at the time of the commission of the Act charged as an offence, nor be subjected to a penalty greater than that which might have been inflicted under the law in force at the time of the commission of the offence."
