Propose a change

Private International Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1995

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.

14 Transitional provision and savings.

(1) Nothing in this Part applies to acts or omissions giving rise to a claim which occur before the commencement of this Part. (2) Nothing in this Part affects any rules of law (including rules of private international law) except those abolished by section 10 above. (3) Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (2) above, nothing in this Part— (a) authorises the application of the law of a country outside the forum as the applicable law for determining issues arising in any claim in so far as to do so— (i) would conflict with principles of public policy; or (ii) would give effect to such a penal, revenue or other public law as would not otherwise be enforceable under the law of the forum; or (b) affects any rules of evidence, pleading or practice or authorises questions of procedure in any proceedings to be determined otherwise than in accordance with the law of the forum. (4) This Part has effect without prejudice to the operation of any rule of law which either has effect notwithstanding the rules of private international law applicable in the particular circumstances or modifies the rules of private international law that would otherwise be so applicable.

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.
