The Court refused to order a separate question because the settlement issue could not be satisfactorily isolated from core factual issues, resolution of it would not materially shorten the multi-week trial or reduce parties, first defendants retained independent indemnity and causation issues requiring determination, and the minimal advantages were outweighed by risks of overlap, inconsistent findings and delay.
