Propose a change

Law of Property (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1994

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.

What to do with it
As published

19 Functions of Public Trustee in relation to notices, etc.

(1) The Public Trustee may give directions as to the office or offices at which documents may be served on him— (a) by virtue of section 9 of the Administration of Estates Act 1925 (as substituted by section 14(1) above), or (b) in pursuance of section 18(1)(b) above (service on Public Trustee of copy of certain notices affecting land); and he shall publish such directions in such manner as he considers appropriate. (2) The Lord Chancellor may by regulations make provision with respect to the functions of the Public Trustee in relation to such documents; and the regulations may make different provision in relation to different descriptions of document or different circumstances. (3) The regulations may, in particular, make provision requiring the Public Trustee— (a) to keep such documents for a specified period and thereafter to keep a copy or record of their contents in such form as may be specified; (b) to keep such documents, copies and records available for inspection at such reasonable hours as may be specified; and (c) to supply copies to any person on request. In this subsection “specified” means specified by or under the regulations. (4) Regulations under this section shall be made by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. (5) The following provisions of the Public Trustee Act 1906, namely— (a) section 8(5) (payment of expenses out of money provided by Parliament), and (b) section 9(1) and (3)(provisions as to fees), apply in relation to the functions of the Public Trustee in relation to documents to which this section applies as in relation to his functions under that Act.

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.
