Facts: The case involves multiple parties associated with the Bear Mountain project in Victoria, BC, focusing on allegations of mismanagement and interference in operations by new directors, affecting the sale and funding of the project. The dispute also includes allegations of improper financial transactions and disputes over the terms of loans among the directors and partners.

Issue: The main issue is the consolidation of four related legal actions into one, to address the interwoven disputes involving the same parties over the management and financial arrangements of the Bear Mountain project. Additional issues include the conversion of an oppression petition to an action and the application to lift the implied undertaking on evidence in a related debt action.

Court's Ruling: The court ordered the consolidation of three of the actions (Oppression petition, Partnership action, and Sanovest action) into a single trial to save on procedural costs and prevent inconsistent rulings. The request to consolidate a fourth action (Debt action) was denied pending a formal application. The court denied the application to lift the implied undertaking of confidentiality for evidence in the Debt action, emphasizing the potential prejudice against parties not involved in that specific action.

Costs/Damages: The document does not specify the amount of costs or damages awarded to any party, as the primary focus is on procedural rulings regarding the consolidation of cases and related applications.
