Rights that come as a result of a statute. For example, if the law says you have the right to sue, the contract can't say you don't have that right.

This forum is for US law only however.

 

[adjusterjack]

There are some statutory rights that can be waived by contract. Others can't.

It would make no sense to try to list them all.

When you are reading a contract (terms of service for example) you have to look for the rights that you are waiving (giving up) and, if they matter to you, look up the corresponding laws.

What are statutory rights?

Statutes are laws enacted by a legislative body, e.g. parliament, congress, state legislature or assembly, city and county ordinances (and whatever the equilivant of those are in the U.K.). Some of those statutes create express rights for some group or class of people. Those are statutory rights. Other sources of rights are the Constitution (though the UK constitution is not written like the US Constitution), court decisions, and, at least at one time, rights created by the monarch.

One of the common statutory rights involve consumer rights legislation to protect the public from unscruplous businesses.
