Sec. 1025.19  Joinder of proceedings.

    Two or more matters which have been scheduled for adjudicative 
proceedings and which involve similar issues may be consolidated for the 
purpose of hearing or Commission review. A motion for consolidation may 
be filed by any party to such proceedings not later than thirty (30) 
days prior to the hearing and served upon all parties to all proceedings 
in which joinder is contemplated. The motion may include a request that 
the consolidated proceedings be maintained as a class action in 
accordance with Sec. 1025.18 of these rules. The proceedings may be 
consolidated to such extent and upon such terms as may be proper. Such 
consolidation may also be ordered upon the initiative of the Presiding 
Officer or the Commission. Single representatives may be designated by 
represented parties, intervenors, and participants with an identity of 
interests.
