Hi, Penny. That's another technical, legal sentence. "Courts will not turn to case decisions for law if a statute is directly in point" "Case decisions" are decisions based on previous court sentences (those are very important in Common law legal orders). A "statute" is a law or a collection of laws. That sentence means: "Courts don't look at previous court sentences to make a decision on a given legal matter, if there is a specific law about that matter, telling them what's the proper decision". Let me know if you find it useful. Bye
