Hartman v. Hale , 285 A.D. 949 ( 1955 )

Order unanimously reversed, with $20 costs and disbursements to the appellants, and the motion to consolidate the seven actions granted. There are issues common to all actions to be tried. There is also an especially valuable policy to be served by consolidation in this type of situation (see Benjamin v. Benjamin, 283 App. Div. 455). Settle order on notice. Present — Callahan, J. P., Breitel, Botein and Rabin, JJ.
