The application for consolidation was dismissed because the two proceedings arise from distinct events separated in time with different causes of action; there are at best limited and ancillary factual overlaps (narrow credibility and some common parties), no common issues of law of substance, and the confidential nature and interim injunction in the confidential information proceeding create practical and prejudice concerns that outweigh any limited efficiencies from consolidation.
