§ 313. Manner of giving notice when not otherwise prescribed
Whenever the manner of giving notice is not otherwise prescribed, the court may direct both as to the form of notice and the manner and time of service thereof. Such direction may be indicated on the process or endorsed upon the application with the same force and effect as if incorporated in an order.
When no law prescribes how notice must be given, the court may set the notice’s form and the manner and timing of service. ★ A direction written on the process or endorsed on the application has the same effect as an order.
