Propose a change

Consumer Rights Act 2015

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.

As published

1 Where Part 1 applies

(1) This Part applies where there is an agreement between a trader and a consumer for the trader to supply goods, digital content or services, if the agreement is a contract. (2) It applies whether the contract is written or oral or implied from the parties' conduct, or more than one of these combined. (3) Any of Chapters 2, 3 and 4 may apply to a contract— (a) if it is a contract for the trader to supply goods, see Chapter 2; (b) if it is a contract for the trader to supply digital content, see Chapter 3 (also, subsection (6)); (c) if it is a contract for the trader to supply a service, see Chapter 4 (also, subsection (6)).

(6) For provisions about particular mixed contracts, see— (a) section 15 (goods and installation); (b) section 16 (goods and digital content).

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.
