Propose a change

Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005

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

25 Exclusion of liability

In the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (c. 43), after section 97A (as inserted by section 24 above) insert— Exclusion of liability 97B (1) None of the persons mentioned in subsection (2) below is to have any liability to an occupier or owner of land for damages or otherwise (whether at common law or otherwise) arising out of anything done or omitted to be done in the exercise or purported exercise of the power in section 92(9), 92A(9) or 92C(3) above. (2) Those persons are— (a) the principal litter authority and any employee of the authority; and (b) in the case of the power in section 92C(3) above, any person authorised by the authority under that provision and the employer or any employee of that person. (3) Subsection (1) above does not apply— (a) if the act or omission is shown to be in bad faith; (b) to liability arising out of a failure to exercise due care and attention; (c) so as to prevent an award of damages in respect of an act or omission on the ground that the act or omission was unlawful by virtue of section 6(1) of the Human Rights Act 1998. (4) This section does not affect any other exemption from liability (whether at common law or otherwise).

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.
