Consolidation was refused because the defendant's conduct caused unjustified delay of the EC Action undermining the statutory objective of prompt EC relief, the EC Action could be rendered unnecessary by resolution of the PI Action due to the s 26(1) proviso, and a combined trial would be disproportionate and burdensome; accordingly the Summonses were dismissed, the PI Action was prioritized for early trial and the EC Action stayed pending its outcome.
