The cumulative effect of common parties, common contractual form, similar size and stage, the same arbitrator, overlapping witnesses and the existence of live allegations of collusion provided sufficient commonality and desirability under s6B to justify ordering the two notices of arbitration to be heard together by the same arbitrator; consolidation will facilitate a just outcome and is unlikely to cause inconvenience or undue delay.
