3rd Defendant failed to discharge the burden to show a split trial was just and convenient: liability and quantum are interwoven (notably causation and overlapping factual and expert evidence), the application was brought late without satisfactory explanation, and a split would likely increase costs and delay (including by appeals); therefore the summons for a split trial is dismissed and all issues are to be tried together.
