Propose a change

Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Scotland) Act 1990

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

Your change, as a redline

44 Interpretation of Part II.

In this Part of this Act, unless the context otherwise requires— “advocate” means a member of the Faculty of Advocates practising as such; “the CMA” means the Competition and Markets Authority; “the Director” means the Director General of Fair Trading; “Lord President” means the Lord President of the Court of Session; “solicitor” has the same meaning as in section 65(1) of the 1980 Act; and “the 1980 Act” means the Solicitors (Scotland) Act 1980. “the 2007 Act” means the Legal Profession and Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 2007 (asp 5).

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.
