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

6 No liability under covenants in certain cases.

(1) The person making the disposition is not liable under the covenants implied by virtue of— (a) section 2(1)(a) (right to dispose), (b) section 3 (charges, incumbrances and third party rights), or (c) section 4 (validity of lease), in respect of any particular matter to which the disposition is expressly made subject. (2) Furthermore that person is not liable under any of those covenants for anything (not falling within subsection (1))— (a) which at the time of the disposition is within the actual knowledge, or (b) which is a necessary consequence of facts that are then within the actual knowledge, of the person to whom the disposition is made. (3) For this purpose section 198 of the Law of Property Act 1925 (deemed notice by virtue of registration) shall be disregarded. (4) Moreover, where the disposition is of an interest the title to which is registered under the Land Registration Act 2002, that person is not liable under any of those covenants for anything (not falling within subsection (1) or (2)) which at the time of the disposition was entered in relation to that interest in the register of title 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.
