Propose a change

Insurance Act 2015

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

7 Supplementary

(1) A fair presentation need not be contained in only one document or oral presentation. (2) The term “circumstance” includes any communication made to, or information received by, the insured. (3) A circumstance or representation is material if it would influence the judgement of a prudent insurer in determining whether to take the risk and, if so, on what terms. (4) Examples of things which may be material circumstances are— (a) special or unusual facts relating to the risk, (b) any particular concerns which led the insured to seek insurance cover for the risk, (c) anything which those concerned with the class of insurance and field of activity in question would generally understand as being something that should be dealt with in a fair presentation of risks of the type in question. (5) A material representation is substantially correct if a prudent insurer would not consider the difference between what is represented and what is actually correct to be material. (6) A representation may be withdrawn or corrected before the contract of insurance is entered into.

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.
