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.

30M Appeals against consumer redress orders
(1) A regulated person in respect of whom a consumer redress order is made may make an application to the court under this section if the person is aggrieved by—
(a) the making of the order, or
(b) any requirement imposed by the order.
(2) An application under subsection (1) must be made within 42 days from the date of service on the regulated person of a copy of the order under section 30G(4)(a).
(3) On an application under subsection (1) the court may—
(a) quash the order or any provision of the order, or
(b) vary any such provision in such manner as the court considers appropriate.
(4) The court may exercise the powers under subsection (3) only if it considers it appropriate to do so in all the circumstances of the case and is satisfied of one or more of the following grounds—
(a) that the making of the order was not within the power of the Authority under section 30G;
(b) that any of the requirements under section 30G(4) and 30I have not been complied with in relation to the making of the order and the interests of the regulated person have been substantially prejudiced by the non-compliance;
(c) that it was unreasonable of the Authority to require something to be done under the order (whether at all or in accordance with the provisions of the order).
(5) If an application is made under this section in relation to a consumer redress order, a requirement imposed by the order does not need to be carried out in accordance with the order until the application has been determined.
(6) Where the court substitutes a lesser amount of compensation for an amount required by the Authority in a consumer redress order, it may require the payment of interest on the substituted amount at such rate, and from such date, as it considers just and equitable.
(7) Where the court specifies as a date by which any compensation under a consumer redress order is to be paid a date before the determination of the application under this section, it may require the payment of interest on the amount from that date at such rate as it considers just and equitable.
(8) Except as provided by this section, the validity of a consumer redress order is not to be questioned by any legal proceedings whatever.
(9) In this section “the court” means—
(a) in relation to England and Wales, the High Court;
(b) in relation to Scotland, the Court of Session.

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.
