Substitution of representative party or sub‑group representative party
21 Substitution of representative party or sub‑group representative party
The Court may substitute another group member as representative party or another person as sub‑group representative party if it appears to the Court that —
the representative party or sub‑group representative party is not able to adequately represent the interests of the group members or sub‑group members (as appropriate); or
it is otherwise in the interests of justice to do so.
An order for the substitution of a representative party may only be made on application by a group member and an order for the substitution of a sub‑group representative party may only be made on application by a sub‑group member.
When the Court substitutes a representative party or sub‑group representative party the Court may make such other orders as it thinks fit.
