The Joinder Summons was dismissed because the applicant failed to identify the precise common issues necessary to justify joinder and the court concluded that, on the facts, joinder would not be just and convenient: it would cause prejudice by delay, materially increase costs and complexity for the Plaintiffs and the Banks, and was unnecessary to achieve procedural economy; the court therefore exercised its discretion to refuse joinder and ordered costs against the applicant.
