(1) In a case where this Act applies, if immediately before making a compensation payment a person— (a) is not resident and does not have a place of business in Great Britain, but (b) is resident or has a place of business in Northern Ireland, subsections (4) and (5) of section 7 apply in relation to him as if at that time he were resident or had a place of business in the relevant part of Great Britain. (2) In a case where the Northern Ireland provisions apply, if immediately before making a compensation payment a person— (a) is not resident and does not have a place of business in Northern Ireland, but (b) is resident or has a place of business in any part of Great Britain, any provision of the Northern Ireland provisions corresponding to subsection (4) or (5) of section 7 applies in relation to him as if at that time he were resident or had a place of business in Northern Ireland. (3) In this section— (a) “the relevant part of Great Britain” means— (i) the part of Great Britain in which the injured person is or was most recently resident (as determined by any written statement given to the person making the payment by or on behalf of the injured person or, if he has died, by or on behalf of the person entitled to receive the compensation payment), or (ii) if no such statement has been given, such part of Great Britain as may be prescribed, and (b) “the Northern Ireland provisions” and references to compensation payments in relation to such provisions have the same meaning as in section 26.

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.
