The PI Action must be tried before the EC Action because the PI trial addresses broader liability issues and can dispose of all material liability questions in a single proceeding, avoiding duplicate trials and inconsistent findings; the court will not rearrange trial priority to accommodate an insurer's private interests, and the insurer cannot rely on a conflict of interest argument where it has already chosen to defend the PI Action.
