Consolidation of appeals; separate trial
Sec. 3. (a) If more than one (1) appeal is taken from a proceeding
and the appeals are filed in the same or different courts, any party to
an appeal may file in the court a motion stating that justice will be
best served by consolidating the appeals. The party shall serve notice
of the motion on the adverse party or the attorney of record.
(b) If the court in which the motion is filed decides that justice
will be best served by the consolidation, the court shall order all of
the appeals consolidated. The appeals shall be heard at the same time
by the court, and different appeals pending in different courts may all
be transferred to one (1) court for the purpose of consolidation or
trial. The court may hear all appeals at the same time either with or
without consolidation. However, if any party appealing or the
municipality objects to consolidation, they have the right to a
separate trial of each appeal.
