statute law

Statute law or statutes mean the laws enacted by the state legislature and by the federal congress.

There is generally a considerable difference between stage law and statute law.

The former epithet cannot, I think, be possibly applicable in the face of statute law; for what else determines our constitution?

They have forbidden things which no law forbids, and even things which the Constitution and statute law declare to be legal.

No elaboration of statute law can forestall variant cases and the need of interpretation ad hoc.
