Propose a change

County Courts Act 1984

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

117 Appropriation of money paid under order and discharge of order.

(1) Money paid into court under an administration order shall be appropriated— (a) first in satisfaction of the costs of administration (which shall not exceed 10 pence in the pound on the total amount of the debts); and (b) then in liquidation of debts in accordance with the order. (2) Where the amount received is sufficient to pay— (a) each creditor scheduled to the order to the extent provided by the order; (b) the costs of the plaintiff in the action in respect of which the order was made; and (c) the cost of the administration, the order shall be superseded, and the debtor shall be discharged from his debts to the scheduled creditors.

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.
