a. When parties have agreed to alternative resolution proceedings under separate agreements under this act, and the claims to be resolved may involve evidence, witnesses and testimony reasonably necessary to resolve issues and facts arising out of a related project or series of agreements, then these proceedings may be held in a consolidated alternative resolution proceeding. Whenever reasonably possible, the same umpire shall be designated to hear and determine these claims. b. Whenever the claims to be resolved in an alternative resolution proceeding may involve evidence, witnesses and testimony reasonably necessary to resolve issues and facts arising out of a related project or series of agreements, which are the subject of litigation in any court of this State, the court may authorize consolidation of the alternative resolution proceeding and the court proceedings to advance expeditious use of court time; provided, however, that consolidation shall not be permitted to unduly delay the expeditious resolution of the alternative resolution proceedings provided for by this act. c. The provisions of subsections a. and b. of this section shall be liberally construed to effectuate the remedial purpose of this act to provide for the expeditious resolution of disputes arising out of a related project or series of agreements.
