Rule 16 ConsolidationI1

Where two or more applications are made relating to the same licensing scheme or proposed licensing scheme, or which involve the same or similar issues, the Tribunal may on its own initiative, or on the request of a party, order that the proceedings or any particular issue or matter raised in the proceedings be consolidated or heard together.

Before making an order under this rule, the Tribunal must invite the parties to the relevant proceedings to submit their observations.
