1046. Every notice that must be given to the members must be written in plain language that will be easily understood by the persons to whom it is addressed. It must contain the description of the group and indicate the names of the parties and their addresses or the addresses of their attorneys. The court may authorize the publication and, if the court considers it expedient, the dissemination of a summary of the notice, which must state that the full text of the notice is available at the office of the court and that in the event of a discrepancy between the summary and the full text of the notice, the latter prevails.
When the court orders the publication or dissemination of a notice, it determines the date, the form and the mode of such publication or dissemination according to publication costs, the nature of the case, the composition of the group and the geographic distribution of the members; where applicable, it indicates by name or description the members who are to be notified individually.
Except in the case of a notice under article 1006, 1025 or 1030, the court also determines the information to be included in the notice.
