Can common law override statute law?
Yes and no. In general, in the U.S., a statute overrides pre-existing common law, to the extent of the statute's language. For example, a common law rule may apply to "all contracts". If the legislature later enacts a statute that is stated to apply to "all contracts for the sale of goods," then the statute overrides common law, but only with respect to contracts for the sale of goods.However, a later court case may arise where there is some question to whether the statute applies as written; there is an issue that is not explicitly covered by the statute (for example, the statute may not have defined "goods"). The court may then interpret the statute's unexpressed terms, and in that sense "override" the statute (at least in part) by its interpretation. And that interpretation will be followed in lower court cases.But the right of courts to throw out, or void, statutes because they are unconstitutional is well enshrined in U.S. common law.
What is the difference between legislation and statute law?

That will depend upon the state, and the specific charge. For example, an assualt charge carries a different statue of limitations from an attempted murder charge. One state, Wyoming, does not have a statue of limitations for any crime. So, you can commit a crime when you're 18 and be prosecuted for it when you're 118, in Wyoming. If you are the victim of domestic violence, you can contact the prosecutor's office in your state for specific information. Otherwise, you need an attorney.

The three-part test to determine whether an expenditure is proper under the Purpose Statute consists of the following parts?
A. The "Purpose Statute" provides that agencies shall apply appropriations only to the objects for which the appropriations were made, except as otherwise provided by law. 31 U.S.C. § 1301(a). B. Three-Part Test for a Proper Purpose. The Comptroller General has determined the following three conditions must be met in order to expend appropriated funds: 1. The expenditure of an appropriation must be for a particular statutory purpose, or necessary and incident to the proper execution of the general purpose of the appropriation. 2. The expenditure must not be prohibited by law. 3. The expenditure must not be otherwise provided for; it must not fall within the scope of some other appropriation.
What is the time established for filing law suits?
Statutes of limitation differ not only from state to state, but also with regard to the type of lawsuit involved. In some states the statutes of limitations for medical malpractice, wrongful death cases, or lawsuits against governmental agencies may be shorter than for other types of personal injury cases,well perhaps not suits involving the federal government, but anyway. In general, however, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is from one to three years. For other types of actions, such as enforcing a judgment, the statute of limitations may be up to 20 years or more! There are some exceptions to the rule, however. Also, the date upon which the time period begins to "run" (and the clock starts to tick) may vary depending on whether you discovered the injury/harm some time after it actually occurred. An experienced lawyer can help you with the details. If you are in the southern part of the State of New Jersey I have an absolutely incredible lawyer for you to contact; Micheal J. Pimpinelli. He is in Woodbury NJ and his number is listed. I dont have it in front of me and well my phone is in the other room and Im in bed .....but its a 5 second look up.
