Courts Act 2003
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
84 Power to change certain requirements relating to Committee
After section 2 of the 1997 Act insert— Power to change certain requirements relating to Committee 2A (1) The Lord Chancellor may by order— (a) amend section 2(2) (persons to be appointed to Committee by Lord Chancellor), and (b) make consequential amendments in any other provision of section 2. (2) Before making an order under this section the Lord Chancellor must consult— (a) the Head of Civil Justice, (b) the Deputy Head of Civil Justice (if there is one), and (c) the Master of the Rolls (unless he holds an office mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b)). (3) The power to make an order under this section is exercisable by statutory instrument. (4) A statutory instrument containing such an order is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.

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.
