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

Without prejudice to the power contained in section 395A of the 1975 Act, (as applied by section 66 of this Act), at any time before a compensation order has been complied with or fully complied with—
(a) in a case where, as respects the compensation order, a transfer of fine order under section 403 of the 1975 Act (as applied by the said section 66) is effective and the court by which the compensation order is enforceable is in terms of the transfer of fine order a court of summary jurisdiction in Scotland, that court; or
(b) in any other case, the court which made the compensation order or (where that court was the High Court) by which the order was first enforceable,
may, on the application of the person against whom the compensation order was made, discharge the compensation order, or reduce the amount that remains to be paid, if it appears to the court either that the injury, loss or damage in respect of which the compensation order was made has been held in civil proceedings to be less than it was taken to be for the purposes of the compensation order or that property the loss of which is reflected in the compensation order has been recovered.

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.
