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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

21 Continuance of certain existing jurisdictions.

(1) Schedule 8 does not affect— (a) the operation of any enactment which confers jurisdiction on a Scottish court in respect of a specific subject-matter on specific grounds; (b) without prejudice to the foregoing generality, the jurisdiction of any court in respect of any matter mentioned in Schedule 9. (2) Her Majesty may by Order in Council— (a) add to the list in Schedule 9 any description of proceedings; and (b) remove from that list any description of proceedings (whether included in the list as originally enacted or added by virtue of this subsection). (3) An Order in Council under subsection (2) may— (a) make different provision for different descriptions of proceedings or for the same description of proceedings in different courts; and (b) contain such transitional and other incidental provisions as appear to Her Majesty to be appropriate. (4) An Order in Council under subsection (2) shall not be made unless a draft of the Order has been laid before Parliament and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament.

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.
