Propose a change

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

206B Live links: supplementary

(1) The appropriate judge may rescind a live link direction at any time before or during a hearing to which it relates. (2) The appropriate judge must not give a live link direction or rescind such a direction unless the parties to the proceedings have been given the opportunity to make representations. (3) If a hearing takes place in relation to the giving or rescinding of a live link direction, the appropriate judge may require or permit any party to the proceedings who wishes to make representations to do so through a live link. (4) If in a case where an appropriate judge has power to give a live link direction but decides not to do so, the appropriate judge must— (a) state in open court the reasons for not doing so, and (b) cause those reasons to be entered in the register of proceedings. (5) Subsection (7) applies if— (a) an application for a live link direction is made under section 206A(4) in relation to a qualifying hearing but the application is refused, or (b) a live link direction is given in relation to a qualifying hearing but the direction is rescinded before the hearing takes place. (6) A hearing is a qualifying hearing— (a) in relation to proceedings under Part 1, if it is a hearing by virtue of which section 4(3) would be complied with; (b) in relation to proceedings under Part 2, if it is a hearing by virtue of which section 72(3) , 74(3) or 74A(3) would be complied with. (7) The requirement in section 4(3), 72(3) , 74(3) or 74A(3) (as the case requires) to bring the person as soon as practicable before the appropriate judge is to be read as a requirement to bring the person before that judge as soon as practicable after the application is refused or the direction is rescinded.

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.
