Because they don't actually know themselves so they skate around the question.
Its all in a legal grey area.
No one has shown it to be an actual law yet and the proper proof for it, just that courts etc force it (through corruption) and because they enforce it means its lawful and just right?....right?

what utter bs, it is law, law covers several things, one of them being law. its all down to history the system is based on hundreads of years. Using a dictionary definition, gets you know where in the legal system.

but you know keep believing utter nonses that is easy to disprove, and if you ever go to court, you will get absolutely no where.

the process
A draft piece of legislation is called a bill, when this is passed by Parliament it becomes an Act and part of statute law. There are two types of bill and Act, public and private. Public Acts apply to the whole of the UK or a number of its constituent countries — England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Private Acts are local and personal in their effect, giving special powers to bodies such as local authorities or making exceptions to the law in particular geographic areas.[8]

In the United Kingdom Parliament, each bill passes through the following stages:

  1. Pre-legislative scrutiny: Not undertaken for all bills; usually a joint committee of both houses will review a bill and vote on amendments that the government can either accept or reject. The report from this stage can be influential in later stages as rejected recommendations from the committee are revived to be voted on.
  2. First reading: This is a formality; no vote occurs. The Bill is presented and ordered to be printed and, in the case of private members' bills, a date is set for second reading.
  3. Second reading: A debate on the general principles of the bill is followed by a vote.
  4. Committee stage: This usually takes place in a public bill committee[9] in the Commons and on the Floor of the House in the Lords. The committee considers each clause of the bill, and may make amendments to it.
  5. Consideration (or report) stage: this takes place on the floor of the House, and is a further opportunity to amend the bill. Unlike committee stage, the House need not consider every clause of the bill, only those to which amendments have been tabled.
  6. Third reading: a debate on the final text of the bill, as amended in the House of Lords. Further amendments may be tabled at this stage.
  7. Passage: The bill is then sent to the other House (to the Lords, if it originated in the Commons; to the Commons, if it is a Lords bill), which may amend it.
  8. Consideration of Lords/Commons amendments: The House in which the bill originated considers the amendments made in the other House.
  9. Royal assent: the bill is passed with any amendments and becomes an act of parliament.

Law has multiple sources - Acts of Parliament, orders, regulations, common law (court judgments), international law, etc. Laws created by Parliament are called Acts because the law's creation/modification is a thing done by Parliament.

Why not ? History, you would probably need to go back to Roman empire to find out why it is called that exactly.

But just because you don't know why it's called that, has no basis on wether it's a law.
Do you also think you could get away with murder after all that's an act.

oh only if that was true, we all know you are a CT nut with no critical thinking.

but probably because it was an act of parliament and therefore called an act.

perhaps you should be clearer about what it is you're actually asking as it has been answered... if you feel it hasn't, given what has been provided already, then you should provide further clarification

the one who said an act is a law, they are. As proved many times. However your side has not proved anything at all.
