CHAN SHIU CHONG v. DIRECTOR OF LANDS
- Citation
- CHAN SHIU CHONG v. DIRECTOR OF LANDS
- Court
- Lands Tribunal
- Case number
- LDLR2/2012
The application to consolidate was dismissed because the Director's proposal to try one case first and stay the others better served proportionality and efficiency: the properties differ in location and character, the applicants can present collective evidence in the first trial, the approach is likely to reduce costs and Tribunal resource use, and findings in the first trial can guide or shorten subsequent proceedings; accordingly consolidation was refused and the other cases were to be stayed pending the trial of the first case.
