thread_title: Civil Law

message: IMHO : Statutory law and Civil law_(legal_system) should be merged to  Statutory_law_(legal_system), because the term "Statutory law" is used for the written codified legal system that opposes the "Common law" or Non-statutory legal system . 
This remark will result in applying a merge request and a modification to change the title of certain articles  please submit your comments below --DerekvG (talk) 15:08, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Comments of merge 

message: "Statutory laws are subordinate to the higher constitutional laws of the land."
This phrase is, at best, unclear and at worst meaningless. It's a tautology to say that statute laws are subordinate to "higher" laws, and what laws are "constitutional" varies by jurisdiction. So in the US it would be fair to say that statutes enacted by congress must be in adherence to the US constitution, but whether a statute is or not is decided by the US Supreme Court, so the phrase above doesn't really capture the essence of that. The UK, meanwhile, has an uncodified constitution and so statute laws are the "high constitutional laws of the land" (whatever that means), save for the concept of constitutional statutes like the Human Rights Act (and this concept is far from fully fleshed out). In any sense, in the UK, Parliament is sovereign, and so there is no such thing as a law "higher" than statute law - the Human Rights Act 1998, technically and constitutionally speaking, occupies the same legal altitude as the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991.
That's not to say that in some jurisdictions like the US, the constitution isn't a "higher" law than statutes enacted by congress, but the phrase above is an all-encompassing statement which is a) tautologous and b) inaccurate. The inclusion of "of the land" makes me think this is a vexatious edit put in by a "freeman on the land" type conspiracy theorist. I'll leave this up for the time being in case anyone wants to challenge me on my points, but if that doesn't happen then I'll delete it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.79.211.150 (talk) 13:39, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Higher constitutional laws? 

message: It's not clear to me what the difference is between the two articles, Statute and Statutory law. This page says "for other uses, see Statutory law" but they seem quite similar to me. I'm not well versed in law and I wonder if they should be merged. Uglemat (talk) 02:30, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I was wondering the same just now... Something should be done about this! I'm not sure if I'll be able to dig into the issue in the near future, unfortunately. But I did want to make known that I share your concern. LegesFundamentales (talk) 17:07, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Statute = Statutory law? 

message: So, how are laws created (federal, state, local), at least in the USA? How are they altered? How are they rescinded? This article does address these questions and there are no "See also" links that give that information. Thank you for your time, Wordreader (talk) 16:12, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
