On the material before the Court it appeared that the written agreements were entered in a similar timeframe, concerned the same subject matter, and raised common questions of law and fact (including an alleged umbrella agreement and issues of illegality stemming from the government lease clause); key witnesses were the same across actions and credibility assessment would be facilitated by a single trial judge; exercising its discretion under Order 4 rule 9 the Court ordered the specified actions to be tried together and ordered costs nisi accordingly.
