some common question of law or fact arises in each of them;

(b)

they relate to decisions or action taken in respect of persons who are members of the same family; or

(c)

for some other reason it is desirable for the appeals to be heard together.

(2)

An adjudicator or the Tribunal must give all the parties an opportunity to make representations before determining appeals together under this rule.
