The court permitted the Defendants to withdraw the Amended Statement of Defence and Counterclaim but awarded costs to the Plaintiff; the court dismissed the application to consolidate and transfer because the Defendants failed to demonstrate sufficiently common questions of law or fact (the alleged conspiracy was not properly pleaded and individualized evidence of each plaintiff's sales and commissions was required), and consolidation/transfer would risk confusion of distinct evidence and is inappropriate absent satisfying the tests in Central Securities.
