Oh Hai!

Statute Law Is law made up from the Government of Canada? You'd most likely find it as the standard law along with Trafficking and prostitution. Public Law Are laws created to protect people from the authorities and governments.**not really these are laws used between people and the state, examples include criminal laws** Examples would be needing a search warrant before the police are authoritized to search you. Private Law Is between a small group of people or families. Examples would be child custody or damage of property. Civil Law Someone trying to get a pay for something that has wronged them e.g Property Damage, Theft, Personal Injury Suing someone for MONAY!$! Criminal Law A crime that damages an more than one person such as a neighborhood. e.g Vandalism, Hostage situation (A little too much >.>)

Substantive Law This type of law enforces the rights as a human being and how you are bonded to the province or country. e.g Finding evidence for court, rights to travel

Procedural Law  Is written to give instructions and restrictions on how a person will be convicted. e.g Case we studied in-class about the Trafficking case
