Criminal Appeal (Northern Ireland) Act 1980
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.

40 Restitution of property.
(1) Where the operation of an order for the restitution of property made on conviction on indictment is suspended until the determination of an appeal to the Court of Appeal, then, if the conviction is not quashed on that appeal, the operation of the order shall continue to be suspended— (a) in any case until the expiration of the time within which an application for leave to appeal under this Part of this Act may be made (disregarding any extension of time which may be granted under section 32(2) of this Act); and (b) if any such application is made within that time, so long as the appeal under this Part of this Act is pending. (2) Where the operation of any such order is suspended under this section— (a) the order shall not take effect if the conviction is quashed on appeal to the Supreme Court ; and (b) such steps shall be taken for the safe custody of the property in question during the period during which the operation of the order is suspended as may be prescribed. (3) Where by reason of the quashing by the Court of a person’s conviction such an order does not take effect and on an appeal under this Part of this Act the conviction is restored by the Supreme Court , the Supreme Court may make any order for the restitution of property which could be made on his conviction by the court which convicted him. (4) References in this section to an order for the restitution of property include references to— (a) an order made under section 27 of the Theft Act (Northern Ireland) 1969; and (b) a compensation order made under Article 14 of the Criminal Justice (Northern Ireland) Order 1994.

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.
