Step-by-step explanation:

Formal written enactments issued by legislative authorities governing the legal entities of state, city or county by way of consent is called statue. They declare a policy, prohibit or command something. Statues are different from case laws and regulations as regulations are issued by government agencies while case laws are issued by precedent.

Example of statue:

If a police officer stops you for driving a broken vehicle and he cites that driving such vehicle is prohibited by law. Such law is established by legislatures and it is formally written, this law is an example of statutory law.
