Tom West in Spanish-English Legan Dictionary (1998) gives:

\"statutory\" = \"legal, establecido por ley\"

Hence, \"statutory rights\" - derechos establecidos por ley

Although \"in addition to\" is found in the Oxford Spanish Dictionary as:

addition / @\"dIS@n / n
1 a [u] (Math) suma f, adición f (frml); to learn addition and subtraction aprender a sumar y
restar
b [u] (adding) adición f; she recommends the addition of brandy recomienda que se le
añada or que se le agregue brandy
c (in phrases) in addition además; in addition to además de; in addition to our previous
order además de nuestro pedido anterior
2 [c]
a (extra thing): these rooms are later additions estas habitaciones se construyeron
después; a useful addition to your toolkit un práctico complemento para su caja de
herramientas; the latest additions to our library las últimas adquisiciones de nuestra
biblioteca
b [c] (extra person): she is a valuable addition to our team su incorporación a nuestro
equipo es muy valiosa; we’re expecting an addition to the family dentro de poco
aumentará la familia


In the Spanish construction, \"además\" sounds funny, so I used a synonym, \"complementaria\"

I hope this helps

agree  Pablo Villadangos: I like "adicional" or "suplementaria". "Complementaria" is also acceptable bus less adequate IMHO
