An "act" is a "law." Before being passed by a legislative body, a piece of legislation is called a "bill," which is not yet a "law." Once an bill has been passed by the requisite number of votes and is signed by an executive authority, it then becomes an "act" (enacted) and at that point, it becomes law.

Act is another word for Law.

An "act" is a "law." Under what definition and dictionary?

When words are being used in contract/law they should be defined within the documents. However when dealing with legalize definitions you might be inclined to use a law dictionary such as Black's Law.
