Propose a change

The Supreme Court Rules 2024

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.

As published

27 Documents for appeal hearing

(1) Within 112 days after the filing of the notice of intention to proceed under rule 19(1)(c) or the issue of the notice of appeal under rule 20(5), the appellant must file a statement of the relevant facts and issues, the contents of which have been agreed with every respondent. (2) The statement of facts and issues must be served by the appellant on every intervener after being filed. (3) The appellant and every respondent (and any intervener and advocate to the Court) must then file their respective written cases and serve them on the other parties, in accordance with the practice direction. (4) Where there is more than one respondent, any respondent claiming to have a separate interest may (at that respondent’s own risk as to costs) file and serve a separate case. (5) An intervener may not include in its written case any submissions on an issue which is not an issue raised in the notice of appeal or cross-appeal for which permission has been granted, or in the respondent’s notice of acknowledgement.

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.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

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.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
