New Jersey § 2a:23b-10

§ 2a:23b-10.

a. Except as otherwise provided in subsection c. of this section, upon application

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. 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. The court may not order consolidation of the claims of a party to an agreement

to arbitrate if the agreement prohibits consolidation.
