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.
Change 1
42 Withdrawal of warrant whileapplication or appeal to High Court pending
(1) This section applies if at any time in the relevant period the High Court is informed by the designated authority that a Part 1 warrant issued in respect of a person has been withdrawn. (2) The relevant period is the period— (a) starting when notice of application for leave to appeal to the High Court is given by the person or the authority which issued the warrant; (b) ending with the relevant day. (2A) “The relevant day” is— (a) if the High Court refuses leave to appeal to it, the day on which the decision to refuse leave becomes final; (b) if leave to appeal is given but proceedings on the appeal are discontinued, the day of discontinuance; (c) if leave to appeal is given and proceedings on the appeal are not discontinued, the day on which the court makes its decision on the appeal. For the purposes of paragraph (a), the decision to refuse leave becomes final when, in accordance with rules of court, there is no further step that can be taken in relation to the application for leave to appeal (ignoring any power of a court to grant leave to take a step out of time). (3) The court must— (a) in the case of an application or appeal under section 26, order the person’s discharge and quash the order for his extradition; (b) in the case of an application or appeal under section 28, dismiss the application or appeal. (4) If the person is not before the court at the time the court orders his discharge, the 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.
