Appeal courts desire to have consistent rulings. When two or more cases share similar facts the appeal court may wish to consolidate the cases to save work and to produce a consistent result. The following published cases can be used to support a motion to consolidate.
The standard test for consolidation of appeal is whether the cases to be consolidated share at least one common issue. Pacific Legal Foundation v. California Coastal Commission 33 Cal 3d 158, 165 (1982) This is a factual question which requires consideration of "whether the questions presented are so related as to make it advisable to consolidate.."
