What is the difference between the "Law", and an "Act" of Parliament, or a "Statute"?

This has always puzzled me.

I know the "Law".
I have studied Law.
I have a Masters degree, in Law.
Not that that should ever qualify someone to preside over a conversation or debate of some sort or the other.......however.....;

"Law" is generally viewed as a 'bad' thing.
It restricts.
It limits.
It inhibits our freedom to express ourselves.

But I would argue, that Law, does done of these things.
The Law, is there to allow us to freely express ourselves.
To say whatever we might be thinking at any given moment.
To freely do whatever we might want to do at any given moment.
So long at we do no harm to any other person or human being.
We should be protected by Law, to pursue our own way to happiness.

And Law,..or the Law, does this.
This is what The Law is all about,...Protecting You.

To know the Law, is to know how to protect yourself.

So what are 'Acts' of Parliament, and 'Statutes'?
Even if you don't know the answer to this question.

If you find this question in any way an interesting question.
Then why not 'research' it, and post what you find?

10 points to the most intriguing and interestingly thought provoking answer.
