I do not know where you are from, but in Italy we distinguish between law (=diritto) which is the more general area (e.g.. private law, company law etc.), and act (=legge) which is the specific bunch of rules that rules a subject. e.g.. act no. 123/year about customers' rights in the area of private law.
