- HCCT80/2006
The application to consolidate is dismissed because the two arbitrations do not raise sufficiently common questions of fact and law to justify consolidation and because consolidation would disproportionately prolong the Sub-Contract arbitration and increase costs; issues of attribution of delay to Styletec are not material to Alpha's entitlement to an extension of time in the Main arbitration, overlapping defect claims are minor, and the Sub-Contract dispute can be resolved separately (including any architect's certificate issue).
