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.

As published

17 Response

(1) A respondent must present a response form to the Tribunal in accordance with any practice direction. Subject to paragraph (2) and to any direction given under rule 16(2) or (3) (sending claim form to respondents), the Tribunal must receive the response within 28 days of the date that the copy of the claim form was sent by the Tribunal. (2) Two or more respondents may include their responses on the same response form if the responses give rise to common or related issues of fact or law or if it is otherwise reasonable for the responses to be made on the same response form. (3) A respondent may include the response to more than one claim on the same response form if the claims give rise to common or related issues of fact or law or if it is otherwise reasonable for the responses to be made on the same response form. (4) Where two or more respondents wrongly include responses on the same response form, this must be treated as an irregularity falling under rule 6 (irregularities and non-compliance).

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.
