§ 7321.11. Consolidation of separate arbitration proceedings
Currentness
(a) Conditions.--Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c), upon motion of a party to an agreement to arbitrate or to an arbitration proceeding, the court may order consolidation of separate arbitration proceedings as to all or some of the claims if:
(1) there are separate agreements to arbitrate or separate arbitration proceedings between the same persons, or one of them is a party to a separate agreement to arbitrate or a separate arbitration proceeding with a third person;
(2) the claims subject to the agreements to arbitrate arise in substantial part from the same transaction or series of related transactions;
(3) the existence of a common issue of law or fact creates the possibility of conflicting decisions in the separate arbitration proceedings; and
(4) prejudice resulting from a failure to consolidate is not outweighed by the risk of undue delay or prejudice to the rights of or hardship to parties opposing consolidation.
(b) Partial consolidation.--The court may order consolidation of separate arbitration proceedings as to some claims and allow other claims to be resolved in separate arbitration proceedings.
(c) Agreement governs.--The court may not order consolidation of the claims of a party to an agreement to arbitrate if the agreement prohibits consolidation.
