The Tribunal exercised its discretion under Rule 18 to order determination first of four identified pure points of law because the case presented exceptional circumstances: the pleadings disclosed alternative legal bases that would significantly narrow or change the factual and valuation evidence required; the points as formulated could be decided without resolution of underlying disputed facts; and deciding them first would be just and convenient. Costs of the summons ordered nisi to be costs in the cause.
