# County Court Rules (Northern Ireland) 1981, Rule 4: Separate hearings may be ordered

Extent: N.I.

If, at any time, it appears to [ the judge or district judge as the case maybe] that any causes of action joined in one action cannot be conveniently heard and disposed of together, he may order separate hearings, or may exclude any cause of action and order any consequential amendments to be made and may make such order as to costs as may be just.
