Propose a change

Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973

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.

As published

9A Definition of “final disposal” of relevant claim for purposes of sections 7, 8 and 9

(1) For the purposes of sections 7, 8 and 9, a relevant claim is finally disposed of— (a) when a decision disposing of the claim is made, if there is no right of appeal against the decision, (b) if there is a right of appeal with leave or permission against such a decision— (i) when the time period for seeking leave or permission to appeal has expired without an application for leave or permission having been made, or (ii) when leave or permission to appeal is refused, (c) if leave or permission to appeal against such a decision has been granted or is not required, when the time period for making an appeal has expired without an appeal having been made, or (d) when the claim is withdrawn or abandoned.

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.
