Read a random definition: jus aquaeductus

A quick definition of preceptive statute:

A preceptive statute is a type of law made by a government or court that gives specific instructions on what people should or should not do. It is a complete and definite rule that everyone must follow. It is different from other types of laws that may only allow or forbid certain actions. Preceptive statutes are like rules that everyone has to follow, and they can be enforced by the government.

A more thorough explanation:

A preceptive statute is a type of law that is prescriptive, general, definite, and complete. It is similar to a rule and provides specific instructions on what should be done.

For example, a preceptive statute may require that all businesses in a certain industry obtain a license before operating. This law is prescriptive because it provides a specific requirement that must be followed. It is also general because it applies to all businesses in the industry, not just a select few. Additionally, it is definite and complete because it provides clear instructions on what must be done.

Another example of a preceptive statute is a law that requires all drivers to wear seat belts while operating a vehicle. This law is prescriptive because it provides a specific action that must be taken. It is also general because it applies to all drivers, not just a select few. Additionally, it is definite and complete because it provides clear instructions on what must be done.
