Propose a change

Consumers, Estate Agents and Redress Act 2007

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

What to do with it
As published

26 Enforcement by court of section 24 notice

(1) This section applies where a person (“ the defaulter ”) refuses, or otherwise fails, to comply with a notice given to the defaulter under section 24(1) and the defaulter is— (a) within section 24(3)(c), or (b) a person in relation to whom this section applies by virtue of provision made under section 24(7)(b). (2) But this section does not apply in relation to a notice if, or to the extent that, section 25(1) applies in relation to the notice. (3) The consumer advocacy body in question may apply to the court for an order requiring the defaulter to comply with the notice or with such directions for the like purpose as may be contained in the order. (4) An order under this section may, in particular, provide that all the costs or expenses of and incidental to the application are to be borne— (a) by the defaulter, or (b) if officers of a company or other association are responsible for the failure to comply with the notice, by those officers. (5) In this section “the court”— (a) in relation to England and Wales or Northern Ireland, means the High Court, and (b) in relation to Scotland, means the Court of Session.

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.
