A law that is statutory based is a law passed by Congress or your state legislature. Other laws are ordinance based, which means they were passed by a local government, like a municipality or a county. The 3rd form would be laws based upon court decision. For example, the laws outlawing abortion were statutory based. Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion, was court based and overturned the statutory prohibitions against abortions.

An issue is based upon either a "statutory basis" or "non-statutory basis"...or in other words....a "legal" basis cited by law or based upon essentially common sence or other than cited law!
Best wishes.

Yes, statutes exist. They are laws written by legislators.
So, yes, there are many things that have a statutory basis, because they are based on statutes.
