In case of conflict between these two, Statute Law prevails because parliaments are elected by the society and it should represent the views of the public. Common law is law that originates from the early English system which is mostly based on legal precedents which means that, the court relies on previous decisions takes for similar cases. On the other hand, statute law is mainly and act of parliament, which means that the decision has been taken by the members of parliament and a legislation is passed for that specific law.

Origins of "English" Common law is Jus Gentium of Roman Empire. Or Ius Gentium. Non-citizens in Rome were not entitled to the privileges and protections afforded to the citizen under Roman Law. The Jus Gentium was designed to govern the peoples of Italy and the provinces, without giving them Roman citizenship and the other rights of the ius (Jus) civile.

Statutes rule! Regulations are just rules for carrying out the law the legislature made by statute. If the regulation is inconsistent with the statute (and sometimes they are) they can be challenged in court or in an administrative hearing.

Statutory usually has precendence in any legal matter. There are exceptions though. In countries where a monarchy is the head of state, not the political head of state, and a previous monarch issues a warrant to hand over certain things to the people, common law can have precendence, but very rarely. This mainly affects land matters.

The statute rules.

It does so because the statute was created by the legislature, most likely to overturn the standing common law.
