Propose a change

The Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024

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

16 Sending claim form to respondents

(1) Unless the claim is rejected in full, the Tribunal must send a copy of the claim form to each respondent with a notice which includes the following information— (a) whether any part of the claim has been rejected, (b) how to present a response to the claim, (c) the period by which a response must be received by the Tribunal, and (d) what will happen if the Tribunal does not receive a response in time. (2) Where the Tribunal accepts part of a claim on reconsideration under rule 14 (reconsideration of rejection of claim) after rejection of that part, it must— (a) unless it has already done so under paragraph (1), send a copy of the claim form to each respondent, (b) notify the respondent that the rejected part has now been accepted, and (c) direct the period by which a response must be received by the Tribunal. (3) If the Tribunal sends a copy of the claim form to an address for a respondent which differs from that provided on the claim form (whether or not a copy of the claim form has already been sent by the Tribunal to an address provided on the claim form), the Tribunal may also direct that the period by which a response must be received by the Tribunal under rule 17(1) (response) begins from the date that a copy of the claim form is sent to that address. (4) The Tribunal may send a copy of the claim form to the Secretary of State in any case where it appears that rule 95 (proceedings involving the National Insurance Fund) may apply.

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.

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.
