- DCCJ4092/2006
Because the factual matrices and legal issues in the 4092 and 4093 Actions substantially overlapped and the principal grounds for the striking out summonses were similar, it was within the court's discretion to order both summonses be heard together to save time and costs; the master's orders were set aside and replaced with explicit case management directions (timelines for pleadings, hearing to be heard together, vacating and re‑fixing the hearing date) and a costs nisi ordering the plaintiff to pay defendants' costs of the appeal.
