Propose a change

Middlesex Deeds Act 1940

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.

What to do with it
As published

1 Final closing of Middlesex Deeds Register.

(1) The Middlesex Deeds Register shall be closed for all purposes, and accordingly— (a) no search shall be made in the Middlesex Deeds Register, whether by the Chief Land Registrar or his officers or otherwise, and (b) section one hundred and ninety-seven of the Law of Property Act, 1925 (which provides that registration in a local deeds registry of memorials of instruments transferring or creating a legal estate or charge by way of legal mortgage shall be deemed to constitute actual notice to all persons of the transfer or creation of the legal estate or charge) shall cease to have effect as respects the Middlesex Deeds Register, but the closing of the Middlesex Deeds Register shall not affect the consequences that flow under the Middlesex Deeds Acts from any failure to register a memorial of any instrument a memorial of which was capable of registration thereunder. (2) Where a memorial of any instrument has been duly registered under the Middlesex Deeds Acts, a purchaser shall, if his purchase took place after the commencement of this Act and at the time of the purchase he had no notice of the transaction to which the instrument relates, have the same rights as he would have if the memorial had not been registered.

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.
