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

21 Applications for extension of time for presenting response

(1) A respondent may make a written application to the Tribunal for an extension of time for presenting a response. (2) The application must— (a) set out the reasons why the extension is sought, (b) except where the time limit has not yet expired, be accompanied by a draft response, or an explanation as to why that is not possible, and (c) specify if the respondent wishes to request a hearing. (3) A claimant may within 7 days of receipt of a copy of the application give reasons in writing to the Tribunal explaining why the application is opposed. (4) The Tribunal may determine the application without a hearing. (5) If the Tribunal refuses to grant an extension of time, any prior rejection of the response must stand. If the Tribunal grants an extension of time, any judgment issued under rule 22(2) (effect of non-presentation or rejection of response, or case not contested) must be set aside and rule 22(3) ceases to have effect.

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.
