- HCA174/1996
The court ordered joinder of the Dodge companies and the Wah Kei defendants because the Isaacs licence issue was sufficiently connected to the plaintiffs' proposed amended allegations (exports to Isaacs) and it was just and convenient to try those connected issues together; the joinder is conditional on the plaintiffs obtaining leave to amend the statement of claim and will lapse if such leave is not granted; potential for separate trials does not by itself render joinder inappropriate.
