Ancillary provisions for notices
26 Ancillary provisions for notices
The form and content of a notice required under this Part must be as approved by the Court.
The Court must, by order, specify —
who is to give the notice; and
the way in which the notice is to be given.
The Court’s order may include provision —
directing a party to provide information relevant to the giving of the notice; and
relating to the costs of notice; and
requiring that notice be given by means of press advertisement, radio or television broadcast, or by any other means.
The Court must not order that notice be given personally to each group member unless it is satisfied that it is reasonably practicable, and not unduly expensive, to do so.
A notice that concerns a matter for which the Court’s leave or approval is required must specify the period within which a group member or other person may apply to the Court, or take some other step, in relation to the matter.
A notice that includes or concerns conditions must specify the conditions and the period, if any, for compliance.
The failure of a group member to receive or respond to a notice does not affect a step taken, an order made, or a judgment given, in a proceeding.
