Propose a change

Companies Act 1989

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

177 Application of margin or default fund contribution not affected by certain other interests.

(1) The following provisions have effect with respect to the application by a recognised body of property (other than land) held by the recognised body as margin in relation to a market contract or as default fund contribution. (2) So far as necessary to enable the property to be applied in accordance with the rules of the recognised body , it may be so applied notwithstanding any prior equitable interest or right, or any right or remedy arising from a breach of fiduciary duty, unless the recognised body had notice of the interest, right or breach of duty at the time the property was provided as margin or as default fund contribution. (3) No right or remedy arising subsequently to the property being provided as margin or as default fund contribution may be enforced so as to prevent or interfere with the application of the property by the recognised body in accordance with its rules. (4) Where a recognised body has power by virtue of the above provisions to apply property notwithstanding an interest, right or remedy, a person to whom the recognised body disposes of the property in accordance with its rules takes free from that interest, right or remedy.

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.
