The following excerpt is from Tanner v. McIlveen Estate, 2012 ONSC 2983 (CanLII):
In Suguitan v. McLeon, [2002] O.J. No. 878 (S.C.), Molloy J., on a severance motion, noted the inefficiency and impracticality of having three claims proceed separately. In particular, she referred to the potential for duplicative productions, discoveries and motions as being grounds why the claims were properly joined and refused the motion to sever (see paras. 4-6).
