statutory law
legislation (or "statutory law") is law which has been promulgated (or "enacted") by a legislature or other governing body or the process of making it. before an item of legislation becomes law it may be known as a bill, and may be broadly referred to as "legislation", while it remains under consideration to distinguish it from other business. legislation can have many purposes: to regulate, to authorize, to outlaw, to provide (funds), to sanction, to grant, to declare or to restrict. it may be contrasted with a non-legislative act which is adopted by an executive or administrative body under the authority of a legislative act or for implementing a legislative act.
legislation
in the united kingdom, legislation is referenced by year and chapter number. each act is numbered consecutively based on the date they received royal assent. for example the 43rd act passed in 1980 would be 1980 chapter 43. the full reference includes the title and would be the magistrate's court act 1980 c. 43.
