Propose a change

Employment Tribunals Act 1996

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

37I Withdrawal of warning notice

(1) Where— (a) a warning notice has been given (and not already withdrawn), (b) it appears to the Secretary of State that— (i) the notice incorrectly omits any statement or is incorrect in any particular, or (ii) the warning notice was given in contravention of section 37E(3), and (c) if a penalty notice has been given in relation to the warning notice, any appeal made under section 37G(1) has not been determined, the Secretary of State may withdraw the warning notice by giving notice of withdrawal to the employer. (2) Where a warning notice is withdrawn, no penalty notice may be given in relation to it. (3) Where a warning notice is withdrawn after a penalty notice has been given in relation to it— (a) the penalty notice ceases to have effect; (b) any sum paid by or recovered from the employer by way of financial penalty payable under the penalty notice must be repaid to the employer with interest at the appropriate rate running from the date when the sum was paid or recovered; (c) any appeal under section 37G(1) relating to the penalty notice must be dismissed. (4) In subsection (3)(b), the appropriate rate means the rate that, on the date the sum was paid or recovered, was specified in section 17 of the Judgments Act 1838. (5) A notice of withdrawal under this section must indicate the effect of the withdrawal (but a failure to do so does not make the notice of withdrawal ineffective). (6) Withdrawal of a warning notice relating to a relevant sum does not preclude a further warning notice being given in relation to that sum (subject to section 37E(3)).

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.
