What to do with it
As published

103 Appeal where case sent to Secretary of State

(1) If the judge sends a case to the Secretary of State under this Part for his decision whether a person is to be extradited, the person may appeal to the High Court against the relevant decision. (2) But subsection (1) does not apply if the person consented to his extradition under section 127 before his case was sent to the Secretary of State. (3) The relevant decision is the decision that resulted in the case being sent to the Secretary of State. (4) An appeal under this section— (a) may be brought on a question of law or fact, but (b) lies only with the leave of the High Court. (5) If an appeal is brought under this section before the Secretary of State has decided whether the person is to be extradited the appeal must not be heard until after the Secretary of State has made his decision. (6) If the Secretary of State orders the person’s discharge the appeal must not be proceeded with. (7) No appeal may be brought under this section if the Secretary of State has ordered the person’s discharge. (8) If notice of an appeal under section 110 against the decision which resulted in the order for the person’s discharge is given in accordance with subsection (5) of that section— (a) subsections (6) and (7) do not apply; (b) no appeal may be brought under this section if the High Court has made its decision on the appeal. (9) Notice of application for leave to appeal under this section must be given in accordance with rules of court before the end of the permitted period, which is 14 days starting with the day on which the Secretary of State informs the person under section 100(1) or (4) of the order he has made in respect of the person. (10) But where a person gives notice of application for leave to appeal after the end of the permitted period, the High Court must not for that reason refuse to entertain the application if the person did everything reasonably possible to ensure that the notice was given as soon as it could be given.

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.
