§ 9-10. Class Actions--Orders to Ensure Adequate Representation

The judicial authority at any stage of an action under this section may require such security and impose such terms as shall fairly and adequately protect the interests of the class in whose behalf the action is brought or defended. It may order that notice be given, in such manner as it may direct, of the pendency of the action, of a proposed settlement, of entry of judgment, or of any other proceedings in the action, including notice to the absent persons that they may come in and present claims and defenses if they so desire. Whenever the representation appears to the judicial authority inadequate fairly to protect the interests of absent parties who may be bound by the judgment, it may at any time prior to judgment order an amendment of the pleadings, eliminating therefrom all reference to representation of absent persons, and it shall order entry of judgment in such form as to affect only the parties to the action and those adequately represented.
