Sec.  10.63  Consolidation; separate hearings.

    (a) Consolidation. Two or more proceedings involving a common 
question of law or fact may be joined for hearing of any or all the 
matters in issue or may be consolidated by order of the Administrative 
Law Judge. The Administrative Law Judge may make such rulings concerning 
the conduct of such proceedings as may tend to avoid unnecessary costs 
or delay.
    (b) Separate Hearings. The Administrative Law Judge, for the 
convenience of the parties, to avoid prejudice, or to expedite final 
resolution of the issues, may order a separate hearing of any claim or 
issue, or grant a separate hearing to any respondent.
