The appeal was allowed because the two actions arise from the same series of transactions, involve identical or overlapping plaintiffs, defendants and crucial witnesses, and present common questions of law and fact such that trying the cases together by the same judge will save time and costs and avoid the risk of inconsistent findings; any delay from consolidation was not substantial and procedural defects in how a witness's evidence was presented did not preclude its consideration where the court had permitted amendment.
