statutory

形容詞
複数形: null過去形: null過去分詞: null現在分詞: null比較級: null最上級: null

This term carries a rigid, non-negotiable weight. It describes obligations that are hard-coded into the legal system, leaving no room for private agreement or individual discretion. It is most frequently encountered in employment contracts, tax documents, and government regulations. While "legal" is a broad term covering anything permitted by law, "statutory" specifically points to the written act of a legislative body. It evokes a sense of bureaucratic necessity and mandatory compliance, often contrasting with "contractual" rights which are agreed upon between two parties.
