(3d) 275 (B.C.S.C.) at 282 set forth the following tests: i) Do the pleadings disclose common claims, disputes and relationships between the parties? ii) Having regard to matters outside the pleadings, are the claims so interwoven as to make separate trials at different times before different judges undesirable and fraught with problems and economic expense?
