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

5 Sales contracts

(1) A contract is a sales contract if under it— (a) the trader transfers or agrees to transfer ownership of goods to the consumer, and (b) the consumer pays or agrees to pay the price. (2) A contract is a sales contract (whether or not it would be one under subsection (1)) if under the contract— (a) goods are to be manufactured or produced and the trader agrees to supply them to the consumer, (b) on being supplied, the goods will be owned by the consumer, and (c) the consumer pays or agrees to pay the price. (3) A sales contract may be conditional (see section 3(5)), but in this Part “conditional sales contract” means a sales contract under which— (a) the price for the goods or part of it is payable by instalments, and (b) the trader retains ownership of the goods until the conditions specified in the contract (for the payment of instalments or otherwise) are met; and it makes no difference whether or not the consumer possesses the goods.

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.
