The Abuse Redress Rules 2026
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
5 Application for redress: exceptions to entitlement
(1) An application for redress under section 3 of the Measure may not (subject to paragraph (3)) be made if proceedings on a claim for a sum of money arising from a relevant matter brought by the applicant for redress are pending before a court or tribunal. (2) A “relevant matter” is a matter on which an application for redress under section 3 of the Measure could be based but for paragraph (1). (3) Paragraph (1) does not prevent an application for redress under section 3 of the Measure if the claim in question is— (a) stayed pending determination of the application, or (b) withdrawn or discontinued. (4) An application for redress under section 3 of the Measure may not be made if an application for redress under that section relating to the same abuse has previously been made by the applicant and— (a) the application was granted and the determination was notified to the applicant (including in a case where an award of redress lapsed under rule 11(2)), or (b) the application was not granted but the determination not to grant it was reversed on an appeal under section 15 of the Measure.

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.
