Introduction

A statute is a normative provision which has been made by a government or another institutional actor and which may be formally written down. For citizens, companies and institutions of the country, the prevailing statutes determine the access to, claims and contracts on resources they can hold, the conditions for exchanging claims, and contracting as well as norms of behaviour and interaction.

The statute book of a country includes all the laws made by its government, as well as the agreements made by meso and macro level actors on how they will interact.

Therefore there are these statute books:
