Access to Justice Act 1999
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
38 Employees of Legal Services Commission.
In the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990, after section 31A (inserted by section 37 above) insert— Advocates and litigators employed by Legal Services Commission. 31B (1) Where a person who has a right of audience or right to conduct litigation granted by an authorised body is employed by the Legal Services Commission, or by any body established and maintained by the Legal Services Commission, any rules of the authorised body which fall within subsection (2) shall not have effect in relation to him. (2) Rules of a body fall within this subsection if they are— (a) rules of conduct prohibiting or limiting the exercise of the right on behalf of members of the public by members of the body who are employees; or (b) rules of any other description prohibiting or limiting the provision of legal services to members of the public by such members of the body, and either of the conditions specified in subsection (3) is satisfied. (3) Those conditions are— (a) that the prohibition or limitation is on the exercise of the right, or the provision of the services, otherwise than on the instructions of solicitors (or other persons acting for the members of the public); and (b) that the rules do not impose the same prohibition or limitation on members of the body who have the right but are not employees.

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.
