Propose a change

Employment Rights Act 2025

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

123 Power to make LME order on application

(1) The appropriate court may, on an application by the Secretary of State under section 124, make a labour market enforcement order in relation to a person if the court— (a) is satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that the person has committed, or is committing, a labour market offence, and (b) considers that it is just and reasonable to make the order. (2) A labour market enforcement order (an “LME order”) is an order which— (a) prohibits or restricts the person in relation to whom it is made (the “respondent”) from doing anything set out in the order; (b) requires the respondent to do anything set out in the order. (See also section 126.) (3) An application for an LME order under this section is— (a) in England and Wales, to be made by complaint; (b) in Northern Ireland, to be made by complaint under Part 8 of the Magistrates’ Courts (Northern Ireland) Order 1981 (S.I. 1981/1675 (N.I. 26)). (4) In this section “the appropriate court”— (a) in a case where the conduct constituting the labour market offence took place, or is taking place, primarily in England and Wales, means a magistrates’ court; (b) in a case where that conduct took place, or is taking place, primarily in Scotland, means the sheriff or a summary sheriff; (c) in a case where that conduct took place, or is taking place, primarily in Northern Ireland, means a court of summary jurisdiction.

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.
