War Damage to Land (Scotland) Act 1939

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

1 Relief from obligation to repair in case of war damage.

(1) Where war damage occurs to any land comprised in a disposition, or in a lease or in a heritable security, nothing in such disposition, lease or heritable security, or in any deed or instrument bearing reference thereto or in the common law, shall be construed as requiring any party having a right or interest under such disposition or the lessor or lessee or the debtor in the heritable security to make good the war damage. (2) A condition contained in a disposition or lease or in any deed or instrument bearing reference thereto that the disposition or lease or any such deed or instrument shall be void or voidable whenever there shall not be buildings of a certain value or description on the land shall not be operative where the failure to have such buildings on the land is due to war damage. (3) The provisions of any enactment relating to the repair or maintenance of any building shall not extend to the making good of war damage.

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.
