The respondents in two separate applications concerning noise from propane cannons brought a motion to join and consolidate the matters.
One farm had recently been leased by the respondent in the first matter to the respondent in the second matter.
The Board dismissed the motion to consolidate, finding that the respondents were not the same and the questions of fact and law were not similar enough to warrant consolidation.
The Board also ordered the applicants in the second matter to provide submissions on whether their application should be dismissed as trivial, frivolous, or vexatious, given that the respondent no longer operated the farm.
