Extradition Act 2003

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

125 Withdrawal of request while appeal to Supreme Court pending

(1) This section applies if at any time in the relevant period the Supreme Court is informed by the Secretary of State that a request for a person’s extradition has been withdrawn. (2) The relevant period is the period— (a) starting when leave to appeal to the Supreme Court is granted to the person whose extradition is requested or a person acting on behalf of the category 2 territory to which his extradition is requested; (b) ending when proceedings on the appeal are discontinued or the Supreme Court makes its decision on the appeal. (3) If the appeal is brought by the person whose extradition is requested the Supreme Court must— (a) order the person’s discharge; (b) quash the order for his extradition, in a case where the appeal was against a decision of the High Court to dismiss an appeal under section 103 or 108. (4) If the appeal is brought by a person acting on behalf of the category 2 territory the Supreme Court must dismiss the appeal. (5) If the person whose extradition is requested is not before the Supreme Court at the time it orders his discharge, the Supreme Court must inform him of the order as soon as practicable.

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.
