Propose a change

The Clergy Conduct 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.

As published

2 Overriding objective

(1) The overriding objective of these Rules is to enable complaints to be dealt with justly. (2) Dealing with a complaint justly includes, so far as practicable— (a) ensuring that the parties are on an equal footing, (b) ensuring that the parties and all relevant interested persons are kept informed of the procedural progress of the complaint, (c) saving expense, (d) dealing with the complaint in a way that is fair to all relevant interested persons and proportionate to the importance of the matter and the complexity of the issues, and (e) ensuring that the complaint is dealt with expeditiously and fairly. (3) A tribunal, court or person exercising a function under the CCM must seek to give effect to the overriding objective— (a) in exercising that function, (b) in exercising any function conferred by these Rules, and (c) in interpreting a provision of these Rules. (4) A reference in this rule to a complaint includes a reference to an appeal or review arising out of a complaint.

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.

Think it through

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.
