A statute is a formal, written law of a country or state, written and enacted by its legislative authority, perhaps to then be ratified by the highest executive in the government, and finally published. It is sometimes informally referred to as "black letter law."
A statutelaw revision bill was first introduced in the Commonwealth Parliament by the Fraser Government in 1981.
The Government has decided to introduce StatuteLaw Revision Bills into the Parliament on a regular basis, at least once in each year and, if required, once in each sitting.
The StatuteLaw Revision Bill is a fascinating Bill, for the contents of which the Government is to be much congratulated.
The chief editions of the British statutes are the Statutes of the Realm printed by the king's printers, Ruff head's and the fine folio edition issued from 1810 to 1824 in pursuance of an address from the House of Commons to George III.
In 1495 the act of the Irish parliament known as Poynings' Law or the Statute of Drogheda enacted that all statutes lately made in England be deemed good and effectual in Ireland.
In many of the colonies, as in Canada, the constitutionality of an act of the colonial legislature is, as in the United States, a matter for the determination of the local court or of the judicial committee of the privy council on appeal.
