Foreign Judgments (Reciprocal Enforcement) Act 1933
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
9 Power to make foreign judgments unenforceable in United Kingdom if no reciprocity.
(1) If it appears to His Majesty that the treatment in respect of recognition and enforcement accorded by the courts of any foreign country to judgments given in the . . . courts of the United Kingdom is substantially less favourable than that accorded by the courts of the United Kingdom to judgments of the . . . courts of that country, His Majesty may by Order in Council apply this section to that country. (2) Except in so far as His Majesty may by Order in Council under this section otherwise direct, no proceedings shall be entertained in any court in the United Kingdom for the recovery of any sum alleged to be payable under a judgment given in a court of a country to which this section applies. (3) His Majesty may by a subsequent Order in Council vary or revoke any Order prevously made under this section.

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.

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.
