The court exercised its discretion to refuse the plaintiff's application for a separate trial because the air waybill omission issue involved factual and expert evidence, was not a straightforward preliminary question of law, would not be dispositive of the whole action, and granting a separate trial would likely cause duplication, delay and unnecessary procedural complication; therefore it was not just and convenient to order a separate trial.
