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.

4 The portal and portal parties

(1) In these Rules— (a) the “portal” means the portal for filing and managing cases at the Court electronically; (b) a “portal party” is a party who (or whose representative) has been granted access to the relevant case file on the portal for the purpose of taking part in the appeal; (c) a “non-portal party” is a party who (or whose representative) has not been granted access to the relevant case file on the portal. (2) A person who wishes to participate in an appeal as a party and who is legally represented by a solicitor or counsel must be a portal party in respect of that appeal. (3) A party who is not legally represented may be a portal party or a non-portal party. (4) A party who is or becomes a portal party at any stage of an appeal must remain a portal party until that appeal is finally disposed of, unless permitted to become a non-portal party by the Registrar. (5) A party who is a non-portal party at the start of an appeal but who becomes a portal party during the course of the appeal must notify the other parties to the appeal of that fact via the portal. (6) Orders issued in the portal are sealed with an electronic seal.

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.
