Patents Act 2004
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.

15 Security for costs
In section 107 of the 1977 Act (costs and expenses), for subsection (4) there is substituted— (4) The comptroller may make an order for security for costs or expenses against any party to proceedings before him under this Act if— (a) the prescribed conditions are met, and (b) he is satisfied that it is just to make the order, having regard to all the circumstances of the case; and in default of the required security being given the comptroller may treat the reference, application or notice in question as abandoned.

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.
