The defendant, Canadian National Railway Company, brought a motion to consolidate actions involving the plaintiff, Rose Sgambelluri, and two insurance companies.
The plaintiff conceded that the "gateway criteria" for consolidation under Rule 6.01 of the Rules of Civil Procedure were met.
The court granted the motion, finding that consolidation would prevent inconsistent outcomes, avoid multiplicity of proceedings, and promote judicial economy, with no true prejudice or delay to the plaintiff.
Costs of the motion were fixed against the plaintiff.
