33KA. Court powers concerning group membership



(1) On the application of a party to a group proceeding or of its own motion,
the Court may at any time, whether before or after judgment, order-

   (a)  that a person cease to be a group member;

   (b)  that a person not become a group member.

(2) The Court may make an order under subsection (1) if of the opinion that-

   (a)  the person does not have sufficient connection with Australia to
        justify inclusion as a group member; or

   (b)  for any other reason it is just or expedient that the person should
        not be or should not become a group member.

(3) If the Court orders that a person cease to be a group member, then, if
the Court so orders, the person must be taken never to have been a group
member.
