The counterclaim was not struck out because the duplication did not meet the high threshold for abuse of process and the counterclaim is closely connected to the Loan Action such that equitable set-off and efficient adjudication justify its retention; the two actions are to be heard together (same judge) rather than consolidated because hearing together avoids unnecessary costs and delay while allowing common issues to be determined jointly; costs of the interlocutory applications were awarded against Tianrui.
