What to do with it
As published

194 Powers of court to enforce directions

(1) This section applies where the CMA considers that a person (“the respondent”) has failed to comply with— (a) an enforcement direction, or (b) a direction given in a final breach of directions enforcement notice under section 192(5)(b). (2) The CMA may make an application to the appropriate court under this section. (3) If on an application under subsection (2) the court finds that the respondent has failed to comply with the direction concerned, the court may make an order imposing such requirements on the respondent as the court considers appropriate for the purpose of remedying the failure. (4) An order under this section may provide for all of the costs or expenses of, and incidental to, the application for the order to be met by the respondent or any officer of a person that is responsible for the respondent’s failure to comply with the direction. (5) Nothing in this section limits the powers of the court to make orders under Chapter 3 or otherwise (and an application under this section may be combined with an application under that Chapter for a consumer protection order). (6) The following provisions of Chapter 3 apply to an order under this section as if the order were a consumer protection order— (a) section 173 (appropriate court); (b) section 174 (effect of orders in other parts of the United Kingdom); (c) section 178 (substantiation of claims).

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.
