Propose a change

Inquiries Act 2005

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

38 Time limit for applying for judicial review

(1) An application for judicial review of a decision made— (a) by the Minister in relation to an inquiry, or (b) by a member of an inquiry panel, must be brought within 14 days after the day on which the applicant became aware of the decision, unless that time limit is extended by the court. (2) Subsection (1) does not apply where an earlier time limit applies by virtue of Civil Procedure Rules or rules made under section 55 of the Judicature (Northern Ireland) Act 1978 (c. 23). (3) Subsection (1) does not apply to— (a) a decision as to the contents of the report of the inquiry; (b) a decision of which the applicant could not have become aware until the publication of the report. In this subsection “report” includes any interim report. (4) This section does not extend to Scotland.

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.
