27 Agreements made through unauthorised persons.

(1) This section applies to an agreement that— (a) is made by an authorised person (“the provider”) in the course of carrying on a regulated activity, (b) is not made in contravention of the general prohibition, (c) if it relates to a credit-related regulated activity, is not made in contravention of section 20, and (d) is made in consequence of something said or done by another person (“the third party”) in the course of— (i) a regulated activity carried on by the third party in contravention of the general prohibition, or (ii) a credit-related regulated activity carried on by the third party in contravention of section 20. (1ZA) But this section does not apply to a regulated credit agreement or a regulated consumer hire agreement unless the provider knows before the agreement is made that the third party had some involvement in the making of the agreement or matters preparatory to its making. (1A) An agreement to which this section applies is unenforceable against the other party. (2) The other party is entitled to recover— (a) any money or other property paid or transferred by him under the agreement; and (b) compensation for any loss sustained by him as a result of having parted with it. (3) “Agreement” means an agreement— (a) made after this section comes into force; and (b) the making or performance of which constitutes, or is part of, the regulated activity in question carried on by the provider. (4) This section does not apply if the regulated activity is accepting deposits. (5) For the purposes of subsection (1ZA)— “regulated consumer hire agreement” has the meaning given by article 60N of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Regulated Activities) Order 2001 (S.I. 2001/544); “regulated credit agreement” has the meaning given by article 60B of that Order.

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.
