A quick definition of real statute:
A real statute is a law made by a group of people who have the power to make laws. It can be made by a government or a court. It tells people what they can or cannot do. There are different types of statutes, like ones that require people to do something or ones that forbid people from doing something. Some statutes only apply to certain people or things, while others apply to everyone. Statutes can be changed or cancelled by other laws.A more thorough explanation:
A real statute is a law that primarily affects the operation, status, and condition of property, and addresses persons only incidentally. It is a type of civil law. For example, a real statute may regulate the ownership, transfer, or use of property.
One example of a real statute is a law that requires property owners to maintain their buildings in a safe condition. This law primarily affects the property and its condition, and only incidentally affects the owner.
Another example is a law that regulates the use of land for certain purposes, such as zoning laws. This law primarily affects the property and its use, and only incidentally affects the owner.
