Document Summary
Written enactments by governments to codify, reform, and or deal with issues not always addressed by common law (also known as case law). Statutes are the laws made by legislatures as opposed to case law which is law as it exists in judicial decision. : statutes are created and amended by bills, which are proposed statutes that must go through a governmental approval process in order to become part of existing law. Federal bills originate from either of the two chambers of parliament: the house of commons or the senate. Provincial and territorial bills originate in the provincial or territorial legislature, as the case may be. Regulation: regulations are rules made pursuant to a statute and are known as subordinate legislation. Regulations have an enabling statute; that is a statute under which the regulations were made and operate. Regulations typically provide necessary detail to broad statutory provisions and enumerate how the provisions of a statute are to be implemented.
