Although the Court may consolidate separate appeals that raise common questions of law, consolidation is discretionary and requires consideration of factual distinctness, whether leave has been granted, preparedness for hearing and prejudice to parties; because the Wong Chi Fung appeals were ready for hearing, the present applications had not yet secured leave, the cases involved distinct facts, and consolidation would prejudice the ready appeal, the summonses seeking early fixation and consolidation were refused.
