The Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) Rules 2014
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
27 Public and private hearings
(1) Subject to the following paragraphs and to section 108 of the 2002 Act, all hearings must be held in public. (2) The Tribunal may give a direction that a hearing, or part of it, is to be held in private. (2A) Without prejudice to paragraph (2), the Tribunal may direct that a hearing, or part of it, is to be held in private if— (a) the Tribunal directs that the proceedings are to be conducted wholly or partly as video proceedings or audio proceedings; (b) it is not reasonably practicable for such a hearing, or such part, to be accessed in a court or tribunal venue by persons who are not parties entitled to participate in the hearing; (c) a media representative is not able to access the proceedings remotely while they are taking place; and (d) such a direction is necessary to secure the proper administration of justice. (3) Where a hearing, or part of it, is to be held in private, the Tribunal may determine who is permitted to attend the hearing or part of it. (4) The Tribunal may give a direction excluding from any hearing, or part of it— (a) any person whose conduct the Tribunal considers is disrupting or is likely to disrupt the hearing; (b) any person whose presence the Tribunal considers is likely to prevent another person from giving evidence or making submissions freely; (c) any person who the Tribunal considers should be excluded in order to give effect to a direction under rule 13(2) (withholding a document or information likely to cause serious harm); or (d) any person where the purpose of the hearing would be defeated by the attendance of that person. (5) The Tribunal may give a direction excluding a witness from a hearing until that witness gives evidence.

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.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
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.
