Consumer Arbitration Agreements Act 1988 (repealed 31.1.1997)
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
3 Contracting “as a consumer”.
(1) For the purposes of section 1 above a person enters into a contract “as a consumer” if— (a) he neither makes the contract in the course of a business nor holds himself out as doing so; and (b) the other party makes the contract in the course of a business; and (c) in the case of a contract governed by the law of sale of goods or hire-purchase, or by section 7 of the Act of 1977, the goods passing under or in pursuance of the contract are of a type ordinarily supplied for private use or consumption; but on a sale by auction or by competitive tender the buyer is not in any circumstances to be regarded as entering into the contract as a consumer. (2) In subsection (1) above— “business” includes a profession and the activities of any government department, Northern Ireland department or local or public authority; and “goods” has the same meaning as in the Sale of Goods Act 1979. (3) It is for those claiming that a person entered into a contract otherwise than as a consumer to show that he did so.

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.
