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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

27 Consignation, or payment into court, in Scotland

(1) Subsection (2) applies where— (a) a consumer has not rejected goods which the consumer could have rejected for breach of a term mentioned in section 19(3) or (6), (b) the consumer has chosen to treat the breach as giving rise only to a claim for damages or to a right to rely on the breach against a claim by the trader for the price of the goods, and (c) the trader has begun proceedings in court to recover the price or has brought a counter-claim for the price. (2) The court may require the consumer— (a) to consign, or pay into court, the price of the goods, or part of the price, or (b) to provide some other reasonable security for payment of the price.

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.
