Judges Pensions (India and Burma) Act 1948 (repealed)

5 Computation of service.

(1) Subject to the provisions of subsection (2) of this section, the service of a person shall be computed— (a) for the purposes of sections one and two of this Act, in the same manner as his service for pension would fall to be computed under the Government of India (High Court Judges) Order 1937, for the purposes of the Third Schedule to that Order; (b) for the purposes of the last preceding section, in the same manner as his service for pension would fall to be computed under the Government of Burma (High Court Judges) Order 1937, for the purposes of the First Schedule to that Order: Provided that service as an acting judge or an additional judge shall be taken into account notwithstanding that there is no subsequent service in a substantive appointment. (2) If, in the opinion of the Secretary of State, service in a court in India or Pakistan created after the fifteenth day of August, nineteen hundred and forty-seven, ought to be treated for the purposes of section one or section two of this Act as if it were service in a court which was a High Court in British India, it shall be so treated, and references in the said sections one and two, in the Schedule to this Act, and in the Government of India (High Court Judges) Order 1937, as applied by that Schedule, to service, or to service in a particular court or particular courts, shall be construed accordingly.

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.

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.
