The Registrar exercised discretion to order the two related actions to be listed before the same judge to be tried sequentially because they involve overlapping factual questions, evidence relevant to character and credibility of key defendants is common to both actions, sequential trials will promote case management and likely save time and costs, and the limited delay (approximately three months with specific extension terms) and procedural protections avoid undue prejudice; costs of the applications were ordered to be in the cause with certificate for one counsel.
