Propose a change

Cluster Munitions (Prohibitions) Act 2010

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

17 Compensation for destruction

(1) This section applies if a person (P) claims that— (a) a prohibited munition has been destroyed under section 14 or 16, (b) P had an interest which was materially affected by the destruction, (c) P sustained loss as a result of the destruction, and (d) no notice was served on P under section 14 or (as the case may be) section 15 (whether or not one was served on any other person). (2) P may make an application for compensation to the High Court or, in Scotland, the Court of Session. (3) If the Court finds that P's claim is justified, the Court may order the Secretary of State to pay to P such amount (if any) by way of compensation as the Court considers just. (4) If the Court believes that the prohibited munition would have been destroyed even if a notice had been served on P under the section concerned, the Court must not order compensation to be paid under this section.

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.
