Criminal Appeal Act 1995
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
6 Powers exercisable by registrar.
After section 31 of the 1968 Act insert— Powers of Court under Part I which are exercisable by registrar. 31A (1) The powers of the Court of Appeal under this Part of this Act which are specified in subsection (2) below may be exercised by the registrar. (2) The powers mentioned in subsection (1) above are the following— (a) to extend the time within which notice of appeal or of application for leave to appeal may be given; (b) to order a witness to attend for examination; and (c) to vary the conditions of bail granted to an appellant by the Court of Appeal or the Crown Court. (3) No variation of the conditions of bail granted to an appellant may be made by the registrar unless he is satisfied that the respondent does not object to the variation; but, subject to that, the powers specified in that subsection are to be exercised by the registrar in the same manner as by the Court of Appeal and subject to the same provisions. (4) If the registrar refuses an application on the part of an appellant to exercise in his favour any of the powers specified in subsection (2) above, the appellant shall be entitled to have the application determined by a single judge.

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.
