Propose a change

Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982

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

19 Recognition of U.K. judgments in other parts of U.K.

(1) A judgment to which this section applies given in one part of the United Kingdom shall not be refused recognition in another part of the United Kingdom solely on the ground that, in relation to that judgment, the court which gave it was not a court of competent jurisdiction according to the rules of private international law in force in that other part. (2) Subject to subsection (3), this section applies to any judgment to which section 18 applies. (3) This section does not apply to— (a) the documents mentioned in paragraph (c) of the definition of “judgment” in section 18(2); (b) the awards and orders mentioned in paragraphs (d) and (e) of that definition; (c) the decrees and orders referred to in section 18(4).

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.
