Section 583
Disposition versions
583. The originating application in a class action must be filed with the court office not later than three months after the class action is authorized, under pain of the authorization being declared lapsed.
If an application for a declaration of lapse is filed, notice of the application, using the method of publication determined by the court, must be given to the class members at least 15 days before the date on which the application is to be presented. The representative plaintiff, or another class member asking to be substituted as representative plaintiff, may prevent the authorization from being declared lapsed by filing an originating application with the court office.
