Propose a change

Administration of Justice (Scotland) Act 1972

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

Your change, as a redline

4 Rate of interest in sheriff court decrees or extracts.

The Court of Session may by act of sederunt direct that section 9 of the Sheriff Courts (Scotland) Extracts Act 1892 (interest included in sheriff court decree or extract), as that enactment has effect for the time being whether by virtue of this section or otherwise, shall be amended so as to substitute, for the rate of interest specified in that section, such rate as may be specified in the act of sederunt.

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.

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.
