(1A) In subsection (1), “the relevant court”— (a) in the case of a person whose address in the register is (or if he were registered would be) in Scotland, means the Court of Session, (b) in the case of a person whose address in the register is (or if he were registered would be) in Northern Ireland, means the High Court of Justice in Northern Ireland, and (c) in the case of any other person, means the High Court of Justice in England and Wales. (2) No such decision shall have effect— (a) before the expiry of the period within which an appeal against the decision may be made; or (b) where an appeal against the decision has been duly made, before the appeal is withdrawn or otherwise disposed of.

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.

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.
