1005. The judgment granting the motion:(a) describes the group whose members will be bound by any judgment;
(b) identifies the principal questions to be dealt with collectively and the related conclusions sought;
(c) orders the publication of a notice to the members.
The judgment also determines the date after which a member can no longer request his exclusion from the group; the time limit for exclusion cannot be less than 30 days nor more than six months after the date of the notice to the members. Such time limit is peremptory; the court may nevertheless permit the exclusion of a member who shows that in fact it was impossible for him to act sooner.
