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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

39 Unless orders

(1) An order may specify that if it is not complied with by the date specified the claim, response or reply, or part of it, must be dismissed without further order. If a claim, response or reply, or part of it, is dismissed on this basis the Tribunal must give written notice to the parties confirming what has occurred. (2) A party whose claim, response or reply has been dismissed, in whole or in part, under this rule may apply to the Tribunal in writing, within 14 days of the date that the notice was sent under paragraph (1), to have the order set aside on the basis that it is in the interests of justice to do so. (3) Unless an application under paragraph (2) includes a request for a hearing, the Tribunal may determine it on the basis of written representations. (4) Where a response is dismissed under this rule, the effect is as if no response had been presented, as set out in rule 22 (effect of non-presentation or rejection of response, or case not contested). (5) Where a reply is dismissed under this rule, the effect is as if no reply had been presented, as set out in rule 22, as modified by rule 26(2) (replying to an employer’s contract claim).

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.
