Laws made by the legislative bodies are called statutory laws. Statutory laws are written laws created by a legislative body, such as a parliament or congress. These laws are formally enacted and codified, meaning they are systematically arranged and organized. Statutory laws apply to everyone in the jurisdiction of the legislative body that created them and may cover a wide range of topics, including civil and criminal law, taxation, and regulation of business and commerce. They differ from case law, which is created by judicial decisions, and criminal laws, which specifically deal with offenses against the state.
