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.

What to do with it
As published

5 Provisions as to war damage to building belonging to two or more owners.

Where war damage occurs to any building which comprises two or more separate tenements belonging to two or more owners or in which two or more persons have a common interest, any obligation, express or implied, imposed on any such owner or person by virtue of any deed or instrument or of the common law, to repair or maintain the building or any part thereof shall be construed as not including liability to make good such war damage, and where such owners or persons are unable to agree as to the making good of the war damage the provisions of sections one hundred and ninety-five to one hundred and ninety-nine of the Burgh Police (Scotland) Act 1892, shall apply to such building in like manner as those provisions apply to the houses or buildings therein mentioned where the owners are unable to agree as to sale or rebuilding.

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.
