John Rynne Apr 7, 2023:
estatutario means "que emana de los estatutos" -- and "estatutos" are generally not laws but things like "Articles of Association" ...
Granted, Spain does have the "Estatuto de los Trabajadores", which is a law, but generally speaking "statute" and "estatuto" are false friends (or true enemies, as a friend used to say)

Interés legal is how I've always seen it translated, I'm not sure I've seen 'intereses estatutarios' in a legal document before.
