Matrimonial and Family Proceedings Act 1984
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.

31V Directions under section 31U: supplementary
(1) A direction under section 31U has binding effect from the time it is made until the witness in relation to whom it applies is discharged. (2) But the court may revoke a direction under section 31U before the witness is discharged, if it appears to the court to be in the interests of justice to do so, either— (a) on an application made by a party to the proceedings, or (b) of its own motion. (3) The court may revoke a direction under section 31U on an application made by a party to the proceedings only if there has been a material change of circumstances since— (a) the direction was given, or (b) if a previous application has been made by a party to the proceedings, the application (or the last application) was determined. (4) The court must state its reasons for— (a) giving a direction under section 31U; (b) refusing an application for a direction under section 31U; (c) revoking a direction under section 31U; (d) refusing an application for the revocation of a direction under section 31U.

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.
