There was sufficient commonality in parties, arbitrator, overlapping witnesses and experts, similar contract forms, and common legal and factual issues (notably delay, prolongation and valuation) such that the court should exercise its discretion under s6B(1) Cap.341 to order that the two arbitrations be heard at the same time; accordingly the application was granted and a costs order nisi made in favour of the applicant.
