Propose a change

Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024

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.

As published

176 Interconnected bodies corporate

(1) This section applies if— (a) a court makes a consumer protection order against a body corporate (“the respondent”), and (b) the interconnection condition applies in relation to the respondent. (2) The interconnection condition applies in relation to the respondent if— (a) at the time the order is made the respondent is a member of a group of interconnected bodies corporate, (b) at any time when the order is in force the respondent becomes a member of a group of interconnected bodies corporate, or (c) at any time when the order is in force a group of interconnected bodies corporate of which the respondent is a member is increased by the addition of one or more further members. (3) The order may include provision for the requirements (or any particular requirements) imposed by the order to be binding upon all other members of the group (in addition to the respondent) as if each of them were the respondent. (4) Provision may be included in an order under subsection (3) only if the court considers it just, reasonable and proportionate to include that provision. (5) A group of interconnected bodies corporate is a group consisting of two or more bodies corporate all of whom are interconnected with each other. (6) Any two bodies corporate are interconnected— (a) if one of them is a subsidiary of the other, or (b) if both of them are subsidiaries of the same body corporate. (7) Where an order includes provision under subsection (3), a copy of the order must be given to any other member of the respondent’s group in relation to which the requirements imposed by the order are to be binding.

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.
