REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDINGS - application seeking orders for opt out, group member registration regime and class closure - registration and class closure orders opposed by applicants - real caution is appropriate before making a class closure order over the applicant's objection - where registration and class closure is not necessary to facilitate settlement - likely low level of group member registration - substantial cost of proposed registration regime -registration regime unlikely to be necessary for the great majority of group members to be paid a share of any settlement or judgment - the relationship of respondents to group members is that of trustee and beneficiary - application dismissed
