Given the shared factual background and overlapping legal issues among the 11 consolidated actions, and that pleadings were not closed in all actions, the court exercised its wide case management discretion to order a single consolidated set of pleadings because it will define and crystallize issues, eliminate duplication, assist preparation and save time and costs; the court also ordered payment of the Sanction Payment amount and allocated costs where applications were necessitated by the Petitioner's stance.
