Chancel Repairs Act 1932

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

What to do with it
As published

3 General provisions as to proceedings under Act.

(1) All proceedings brought under this Act with respect to liability to repair a chancel shall be brought in the county court ..., and notwithstanding anything in the County Courts Act 1959, the county court shall have jurisdiction to determine any such proceedings whatsoever. (2) The provisions of sections forty-three and forty-four of the County Courts Act 1959 (which provide for the removal of matters from the county court to the High Court), shall apply to any such proceedings as if the proceedings were a matter commenced in the county court under that Act. (3) No appeal shall lie under section one hundred and eight of the County Courts Act, 1959, from any determination or direction of the county court in any such proceedings without the leave of the court, unless the claim in the proceedings is a claim for a sum exceeding twenty pounds. (4) Without prejudice to the generality of the provisions of section one hundred and two of the County Courts Act 1959 provision may be made by rules under that section enabling the court— (a) to order a responsible authority bringing prodeedings under this Act to give security for costs; (b) in a case where judgment is given for the payment of a sum of money in respect of repairs not yet executed, to direct the money to be paid into court and to give any other directions necessary for the purpose of ensuring that the money is spent in executing the repairs; and rules under that section may prescribe the form of the notice to repair and the manner in which it may be served.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
