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.
Change 1
6 Time limits
(1) Unless to do so would be contrary to any enactment, the Court may extend or shorten any time limit set by these Rules or any relevant practice direction— (a) of its own motion; or (b) on the application of one or more parties, and may do so after the time limit has expired. (2) Where appropriate, the Registrar shall notify the parties when a time limit is varied under this rule. (3) Where a party to a proposed appeal has applied for public funding and the Registrar is informed of the application, the Registrar may extend the time limits provided for in these rules until after the final determination of the application for public funding, having regard in particular to the promptness with which the party has made and the manner in which the party has pursued that application. (4) Where a period for the doing of any act is specified by these Rules, by a practice direction or by a judgment or order— (a) an act done at the Registry shall be in time if done on the next day on which the Registry is open, if the period ends on a day on which the Registry is closed; and (b) that period expires at midnight on the last day according to the local time of the place where the person does the act.

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.
