Well france uses a civil law system (based on what the romans were
using) as opposed to a common law system (started in the UK in 1066,
what UK, America and a few others use).  In the civil law sytem the
statutes are the statutes.  What a judge ruled in a different case that
is similar is moot.  As such judges cannot really define statutes in a
civil law system.  So each and every aspect of an action must be laid
out in statute, since that is the final and only word on given actions.

Thus you end up with 130945130951309 statutes covering 1 specific thing
becuase every variant needs to be covered.  Can make for a painful
process of combing through the statutes.  

This is why I recommend legal counsel to decide if this is acceptable
for you, especially with civil law systems, but generally with all legal
systems.
