The application for separate trials is dismissed because, on the present pleadings, separation would not be just and convenient: (1) issues as to what was in the contemplation of the parties overlap liability and quantum and require the same witness evidence, risking unfairness and inconsistent credibility findings; and (2) separation could prejudice the plaintiffs' right of appeal to the Privy Council because it is not sufficiently probable that any award of damages would exceed the $500,000 threshold.
