Propose a change

Crime and Disorder Act 1998

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

What to do with it
As published

13E Effect of parental compensation order on subsequent award of damages in civil proceedings

(1) This section has effect where— (a) a parental compensation order has been made in favour of any person in respect of any taking or loss of property or damage to it; and (b) a claim by him in civil proceedings for damages in respect of the taking, loss or damage is then to be determined. (2) The damages in the civil proceedings shall be assessed without regard to the parental compensation order, but the claimant may recover only an amount equal to the aggregate of the following— (a) any amount by which they exceed the compensation; and (b) a sum equal to any portion of the compensation which he fails to recover. (3) The claimant may not enforce the judgment, so far as it relates to such a sum as is mentioned in subsection (2)(b) above, without the permission of the court.

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.
