SHEA v. BENJAMIN

The three actions are to recover damages for personal injuries and property damage, growing out of a collision between automobiles owned and operated respectively by Gloria P. Benjamin and Robert J. Shea. Order denying motion for consolidation reversed on the law and the facts, with $10 costs and disbursements, and the motion granted, without costs. That the parties are represented by different attorneys is insufficient to warrant denial of the motion to consolidate the actions, all of which present the same issues of negligence and contributory negligence. Nolan, P.J., Carswell, Adel, Sneed and Wenzel, JJ., concur.
