A temporary stay was granted because the proceedings share a common thread and the plaintiffs' claimed losses against the valuer are dependent on the outcome of the pre-existing related proceeding; conversely, the application to hear the proceedings together was declined because the matters differ in scope, are at materially different stages of readiness for trial, consolidation would cause prejudice and added cost to Colliers, and risk confusion and inefficiency.
