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.

As published

48 Other warrant issued following consent

(1) This section applies if— (a) a person consents under section 45 to his extradition to a category 1 territory, and (b) the conditions in subsection (2) are satisfied before the judge orders his extradition under section 46(6). (2) The conditions are that— (a) the judge is informed that another Part 1 warrant has been issued in respect of the person; (b) the warrant falls to be dealt with by the judge or by a judge who is the appropriate judge in another part of the United Kingdom; (c) the warrant has not been disposed of. (3) Section 46(6) does not apply but the judge may— (a) order the person’s extradition in pursuance of his consent, or (b) order further proceedings on the warrant under consideration to be deferred until the other warrant has been disposed of. (4) Subsection (3) is subject to section 51. (5) In applying subsection (3) the judge must take account in particular of these matters— (a) the relative seriousness of the offences concerned; (b) the place where each offence was committed (or was alleged to have been committed); (c) the date on which each warrant was issued; (d) whether, in the case of each offence, the person is accused of its commission (but not alleged to have been convicted) or is alleged to be unlawfully at large after conviction.

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.

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.
