Proceeds of Crime Act 2002

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.

420 Modifications of the 2016 Act

(1) This section applies if an award of sequestration is made in Scotland. (2) The following property is excluded from the debtor's estate for the purposes of the 2016 Act— (a) property for the time being subject to a restraint order which was made under section 41, 120 or 190 before the award of sequestration; (b) property for the time being detained under or by virtue of section 44A, 47J, 47K, 47M, 47P, 122A, 127J, 127K, 127M, 127P, 193A, 195J, 195K, 195M or 195P; (c) property in respect of which an order under section 50, 128(3) or 198 is in force; (d) property in respect of which an order under section 67A, 131A or 215A is in force. (3) Subsection (2)(a) applies to heritable property in Scotland only if the restraint order is recorded in the General Register of Sasines or registered in the Land Register of Scotland before the award of sequestration. (4) It shall not be competent to submit a claim in relation to a confiscation order to the trustee in the sequestration in accordance with section 122 of the 2016 Act; and the reference here to a confiscation order is to any confiscation order that has been or may be made against the debtor under Part 2, 3 or 4 of this Act. (5) If at any time in the period before the award of sequestration is made an interim trustee stands appointed under section 54(1) of the 2016 Act and any property in the debtor’s estate is at that time subject to a restraint order made under section 41, 120 or 190, the powers conferred on the trustee by virtue of that Act do not apply to property then subject to the restraint order.

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.
