A statute is a formal written enactment of a legislative authority that governs a state, city or country. Typically, statutes command or prohibit something, or declare policy. Statutes are laws made by legislative bodies and distinguished from common law, which is decided by courts, and regulations issued by government agencies. As a source of law, statutes are considered primary authority (as opposed to secondary authority).
Ideally all statutes must be in harmony with constitutional law or the fundamental law of the land.
This word is used in contradistinction to the common law. Statutes acquire their force from the time of their passage, unless otherwise provided. Statutes are of several kinds; namely, Public or private. Declaratory or remedial. Temporary or perpetual. A temporary statute is one which is limited in its duration at the time of its enactment. It continues in force until the time of its limitation has expired, unless sooner repealed. A perpetual statute is one for the continuance of which there is no limited time, although it may not be expressly declared to be so. If, however, a statute which did not itself contain any limitation is to be governed by another which is temporary only, the former will also be temporary and dependent upon the existence of the latter.

LEAN ON
(verse)
How can I divide the time youÃve left me itÃs like infinity, this night it seems so long how can I devise what is ment to be if you wont set us free IÃm here to lean on when everythingÃs going wrong, girl, just hang on
(chorus)
When everything around you breaks the foundations you have made and IÃm the only one you can lean on just know if sometimes you rely on wrong I can right it make you strong and IÃm the only one you can lean on
(verse)
We must try and find a way to save this love just wishingÃs not enough the future itÃs calling us in that sweet sweet mind a promise I fulfilled and on that we can build IÃam here to lean on when everythings going wrong..........
