The Court Funds (Amendment) Rules 2026
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.

4 Amendment to rule 27
For rule 27 (payment under CPR rule 37.3 (payment out of money paid into court)) substitute— Payment under CPR rule 37.3 (payment out of money paid into court) 27 (1) This rule applies where— (a) a payment is to be made to a claimant out of a fund in court under CPR rule 37.3; and (b) the permission of a court is not required for the payment. (2) Subject to rule 28(3), where a defendant has deposited money under a court order or in support of a defence of tender before claim and a CPR Part 36 offer is subsequently accepted, the Accountant General shall make a payment from a fund in court if provided with— (a) where rule 22A(1) does not apply— (i) a written request from the claimant; and (ii) written confirmation from the defendant that all or part of the fund in court may be used to satisfy the offer in whole or in part; or (b) where rule 22A(1) applies— (i) an electronic request from the claimant; and (ii) an electronic copy of the confirmation from the defendant that all or part of the fund in court may be used to satisfy the offer in whole or in part.

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.
