The court exercised its discretion under section 6B to order that the two arbitrations be heard together because they concern the same plant and equipment, the applicant subcontracted the works to C&S, the same arbitrator was appointed in both matters, witnesses and issues overlap, the application was timely and the advantages of concurrent hearing (avoiding inconsistent findings and saving costs) outweighed any additional cost to Autogain.
