The court found a substantial overlap of underlying factual and legal issues (beneficial ownership of disputed shares, nominee arrangements, identity of foreign investor, and the relationships among Winston, Liu and Xing), a substantial overlap of key parties and witnesses, no convincing evidence that consolidation was premature or would create an unmanageable conflict, and therefore ordered the four actions to be tried together to save costs, avoid inconsistent findings and streamline evidence.
