(2) In the case of questions common to the claims of some only of the group members, the directions given by the Court may include directions establishing a sub-group consisting of those group members and appointing a person who consents to the appointment to be the sub-group representative party on behalf of the sub-group members.
(3) If the Court appoints a person other than the plaintiff to be a sub-group representative party, that person, and not the plaintiff, is liable for costs associated with the determination of the question or questions common to the sub-group members.
