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

79 Bars to extradition

(1) If the judge is required to proceed under this section he must decide whether the person’s extradition to the category 2 territory is barred by reason of— (a) the rule against double jeopardy; (b) extraneous considerations; (c) the passage of time; (d) hostage-taking considerations. (e) forum. (1A) But the judge is to decide whether the person's extradition is barred by reason of forum only in a case where the request for extradition contains the statement referred to in section 70(4) (warrant issued for purposes of prosecution for offence in category 2 territory). (2) Sections 80 to 83E apply for the interpretation of subsection (1). (3) If the judge decides any of the questions in subsection (1) in the affirmative he must order the person’s discharge. (4) If the judge decides those questions in the negative and the person is accused of the commission of the extradition offence but is not alleged to be unlawfully at large after conviction of it, the judge must proceed under section 84. (5) If the judge decides those questions in the negative and the person is alleged to be unlawfully at large after conviction of the extradition offence, the judge must proceed under section 85.

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.
