Which of the following legal matters would not be generally addressed by a Federal, State or Local statute?

The determination of a builder's negligence typically falls under common law principles rather than statutory law. Negligence is generally evaluated through case law based on precedents set in court decisions, focusing on the duty of care, breach of that duty, and the resulting damages. In contrast, the other matters mentioned—such as filing a Mechanic's lien, establishing local building codes, and controlling architectural or engineering licensing—are typically governed by specific statutes enacted at various government levels (federal, state, or local). These statutes provide clear guidelines and regulations that are expected to be followed within their jurisdictions, making the legal landscape for negligence distinctly different, as it relies more on judicial rulings and interpretations rather than codified laws.
