As published

84 Arbitrations.

(1) Any matter which by or by virtue of this Act or regulations made under this Act is required to be determined by arbitration under this Act shall, notwithstanding any agreement (under a contract of tenancy or otherwise) providing for a different method of arbitration, be determined by the arbitration of a single arbitrator . . . . (2) The arbitrator shall be a person appointed by agreement between the parties or, in default of agreement, a person appointed on the application of either of the parties by a professional authority. (2A) A party may not make an application to a professional authority under subsection (2) in relation to a matter if the other party has already made an application to a professional authority under that subsection in relation to that matter. (3) If the arbitrator dies, or is incapable of acting, a new arbitrator may be appointed as if no arbitrator had been appointed. (4) No application may be made to a professional authority for an arbitrator to be appointed by that authority under this section unless the application is accompanied by such fee as may be prescribed as the fee for such an application; but once the fee has been paid in connection with any such application no further fee shall be payable in connection with any subsequent application for the appointment by that authority of a new arbitrator in relation to that arbitration. (5) Where by virtue of this Act compensation under an agreement is to be substituted for compensation under this Act for improvements or for any such matters as are specified in Part II of Schedule 8 to this Act, the arbitrator shall award compensation in accordance with the agreement instead of in accordance with this Act. (6) In this section “professional authority” means— (a) the President of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, (b) the President of the Central Association of Agricultural Valuers, or (c) the Chair of the Agricultural Law Association. (7) The appropriate authority may by regulations amend this section so as to— (a) include a person in, or remove a person from, the definition of “professional authority”; (b) reflect changes in the name or internal organisation of any body mentioned in that definition. (8) In subsection (7) “appropriate authority” means— (a) the Secretary of State, in relation to England, and (b) the Welsh Ministers, in relation to Wales.

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.
