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

28 Exemptions from requirements to provide information

(1) The Secretary of State may make regulations prescribing— (a) descriptions of persons to whom a consumer advocacy body may not give a notice under section 24(1); (b) descriptions of information which a person may refuse to supply in accordance with a notice under section 24(1) or 27(1); (c) circumstances in which a person may refuse to comply with such a notice. (2) No person may be required by a notice under section 24(1) or 27(1) or a court order under section 26— (a) to provide any information which that person could not be compelled to supply in evidence in civil proceedings before the High Court or the Court of Session, or (b) to produce any document which that person could not be compelled to produce in such proceedings.

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.
