Juries Act 1974
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.
Change 1
18 Judgments: stay or reversal.
(1) No judgment after verdict in any trial by jury in any court shall be stayed or reversed by reason— (a) that the provisions of this Act about the summoning or impanelling of jurors, or the selection of jurors by ballot, have not been complied with, or (b) that a juror was not qualified in accordance with section 1 of this Act, or (c) that any juror was misnamed or misdescribed, or (d) that any juror was unfit to serve. (2) Subsection (1)(a) above shall not apply to any irregularity if objection is taken at, or as soon as practicable after, the time it occurs, and the irregularity is not corrected. (3) Nothing in subsection (1) above shall apply to any objection to a verdict on the ground of personation.

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.

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.
