The High Court affirmed the Sessions Court: consolidation was refused because the TNB claim is a statutory cause under ESA 1990 for meter tampering and loss of revenue while the appellant’s action against third parties is contractual/negligence; the causes are different, mere involvement of the same premises or subject matter is insufficient to justify consolidation, and consolidation would risk cross-actions and prejudice; appellate intervention was not justified as the lower court's factual and legal analysis was not plainly wrong.
