Facts: Gordon James Campbell (plaintiff) and Craig Jackman (defendant) disputed the nature of their business relationship, claimed by the plaintiff to be a partnership. Disputes arose over an oral agreement involving fraud claims, misappropriation of funds, a counterclaim for management work, and repayment of a loan related to their business dealings.

Issue: The main issue revolved around the nature of the business arrangement and claims for fraud, misappropriation, and repayment of a loan made by the plaintiff to the defendant during their business relationship.

Court's Ruling: The court dismissed the plaintiff's application for summary judgment on the loan repayment claim, finding the issues between the parties to be intertwined and related to their business relationship. It ordered the consolidation of the two actions due to their interconnected nature and the inefficiency of separate trials.

Costs/Damages Awarded: The defendant was entitled to costs at Scale B, with the court ruling against awarding special costs. The specific amount wasn't provided in the summary, as Scale B costs are determined based on the court’s tariff and the specifics of the case proceedings.
