The classification the exam wants (each type with one line and one example):
1. Public vs private statutes — the general law vs the particular person/body's law.
2. Criminal vs civil statutes — the offence-and-punishment vs the rights-and-obligations.
3. Taxing statutes — the revenue laws (strictly construed, U3.2.1).
4. Penal statutes — the criminal codes (strictly construed, U3.2.2).
5. Remedial and beneficial statutes — the rights-enlarging laws (liberally construed, U3.2.3).
6. Codifying vs consolidating statutes — the law reduced to a code vs the laws merged into one (U3.2.4).
7. Enabling vs disabling statutes — the power-conferring vs the right-removing.
8. Declaratory, curative, prospective, retrospective, mandatory, directory — the effect- classifications (the mandatory-vs-directory test of every administrative law question).
9. Temporary vs permanent; exhausted vs durable statutes.
