Saskatchewan Court of Queen's Bench

Judicial Centre of Saskatoon

MacPherson, C.J.Q.B.

November 15, 1990.

Summary:

The plaintiff brought two separate actions as a result of a motor vehicle accident. The plaintiff applied under Queen's Bench Rule 41(2) for an order that the actions be consolidated or tried at the same time.

The Saskatchewan Court of Queen's Bench ordered that the two actions be tried together, subject to the discretion of the trial judge.

Practice - Topic 5250

Trials - Consolidation of actions - General - A motor vehicle accident resulted in two separate actions by the same injured plaintiff - The nexus between the two actions was the likelihood of duplicating the medical evidence should they be tried separately - The Saskatchewan Court of Queen's Bench held that it was inappropriate to consolidate the actions, but that significant savings in time and costs to the litigants and medical witnesses could result if the cases were tried together.

Practice - Topic 5258

Trials - Trial of actions together - When appropriate - [See Practice - Topic 5250].
