Propose a change

Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide 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.

What to do with it
As published

11 Application to Crown bodies

(1) An organisation that is a servant or agent of the Crown is not immune from prosecution under this Act for that reason. (2) For the purposes of this Act— (a) a department or other body listed in Schedule 1, or (b) a corporation that is a servant or agent of the Crown, is to be treated as owing whatever duties of care it would owe if it were a corporation that was not a servant or agent of the Crown. (3) For the purposes of section 2— (a) a person who is— (i) employed by or under the Crown for the purposes of a department or other body listed in Schedule 1, or (ii) employed by a person whose staff constitute a body listed in that Schedule, is to be treated as employed by that department or body; (b) any premises occupied for the purposes of— (i) a department or other body listed in Schedule 1, or (ii) a person whose staff constitute a body listed in that Schedule, are to be treated as occupied by that department or body. (4) For the purposes of sections 2 to 7 anything done purportedly by a department or other body listed in Schedule 1, although in law by the Crown or by the holder of a particular office, is to be treated as done by the department or other body itself. (5) Subsections (3)(a)(i), (3)(b)(i) and (4) apply in relation to a Northern Ireland department as they apply in relation to a department or other body listed in Schedule 1.

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.
