Sec. 209.
An action authorized by section 208 shall not be discontinued, compromised, or settled without approval by the court having jurisdiction of the action. If the court determines that the interest of the members of the corporate body or of any component thereof will be substantially affected by the discontinuance, compromise, or settlement, the court may direct that notice, by publication or otherwise, be given to the members of the corporate body or any component thereof, whose interests it determines will be so affected. If notice is so directed to be given, the court may determine which 1 or more of the parties to the action shall bear the expense of giving the notice, in an amount which the court determines and finds reasonable under the circumstances. The amount of this expense shall be awarded as special costs of the action and shall be recoverable in the same manner as statutory taxable costs.
