“The court, in furtherance of convenience or to avoid prejudice, or when separate trials will be conducive to expedition and economy, may order a separate trial in the county where the action is pending or in a different county of any claim, cross-claim, counterclaim, or third-party claim, or of any separate issue or of any number of claims, cross-claims, counterclaims, third-party claims, or issues, always preserving inviolate the right of trial by jury as declared by the Constitution of this Commonwealth or as set forth in a statute.” (See Roddy McNulty Ins. Agency v. Proctor Co. (1983) 16 Mass. App. Ct. 525, 528 n.2.)
“The court, in furtherance of convenience or to avoid prejudice, . . . may order a separate trial of any claim." (See Mass. R. Civ. P., Rule 42(d); Lindsey Brown v. Dedham Mut. Fire Ins. Co. (2011) Mass. App. Div. 35, 41.)
Massachusetts R.Civ.P. 20(b), 365 Mass. 766 (1974), provides as follows: “The court may make such orders as will prevent a party from being embarrassed, delayed, or put to expense by the inclusion of a party against whom he asserts no claim and who asserts no claim against him, and may order separate trials or make other orders to prevent delay or prejudice.” (See Roddy McNulty Ins. Agency v. Proctor Co. (1983) 16 Mass. App. Ct. 525, 528 n.4.)
In conjunction with the provision in rule 20(a), 365 Mass. 766 (1974), for permissive joinder, rule 20(b) operates “to allow virtually unlimited joinder at the pleading stage but to give the . . . court discretion to shape the trial to the necessities of the particular case. . . . Aside from emphasizing the availability of separate trials, Rule 20(b) has little significance inasmuch as the power granted the court therein also is provided by the much broader grant of discretion set forth in Rule 42(b).” (See 7 Wright Miller, Federal Practice and Procedure subsection 1660 (1972); Roddy McNulty Ins. Agency v. Proctor Co. (1983) 16 Mass. App. Ct. 525, 528 n.4.)
“A motion to bifurcate a civil trial rests solely within the discretion of the trial judge.” Dobos v. Driscoll (1989) 404 Mass. 634, 645; Adams v. Adams (2011) 459 Mass. 361, 392 [Driscoll points to no case in this Commonwealth in which the decision of a judge not to bifurcate a civil proceeding has been the ground for reversal. Furthermore, Driscoll has cited no such reversal by any other jurisdiction.].)
“Rule 42 (d), which governs bifurcation in District Court civil trials, states:
The court, in furtherance of convenience or to avoid prejudice, or when separate trials will be conducive to expedition and economy, may order a separate trial of any claim, cross-claim, counterclaim or third-party claim, or of any separate issue or of any number of claims, cross-claims, counterclaims, third-party claims or issues.
The Rule confers the necessary discretion on the trial judge to deal with the exigencies of litigation by separating parties, claims and issues in order to secure the just, speedy and inexpensive determination of every action.” (See Mass. R. Civ. P. 1, 365 Mass. 730 (1974); Roddy McNulty Ins. Agency, Inc. v. A.A. Proctor Co. (1983) 16 Mass. App. Ct. 525, 529.)
“Separate trials are obviously necessary, for example, where a plaintiff claims a jury trial on his first common law count, and there is no right to trial by jury on his second G.L.c. 93A count. Bifurcation may be justified where separate counts are brought against separate defendants, as in an action in tort where the plaintiff sues the tortfeasor for negligence and the tortfeasor's insurer for G.L.c. 93. A unfair and deceptive practices in failing to settle the claim on behalf of the insured.” (See Kimball v. Liberty Mutual Insurance Company (1999) Mass. App. Div. 298, 299.)
“A Rule 42 motion may also be allowed to reduce the chance of jury confusion by preventing evidence probative of one claim from being heard on a separate claim as to which the evidence would be inadmissible.” (See Id.)
“The denial of a motion for severance will be reversed only if that ruling rested ‘on whimsy, caprice, or arbitrary or idiosyncratic notions’ and, thus, constituted an abuse of discretion.” (See Chan v. Chen (2007) 70 Mass. App. Ct. 79, 84 [quoting Boulter-Hedley v. Boulter (1999) 429 Mass. 808, 811; Rodriguez v. Hector Alvelo (2009) Mass. App. Div. 145, 146.)
“Counsel for each of the parties shall confer in advance of filing any motion, except motions governed by Rule 9A(d) and Standing Order 1-96, and make a good faith effort to narrow areas of disagreement to the fullest extent. Counsel for the party who intends to serve the motion shall be responsible for initiating the conference, which conference shall be by telephone or in person. All such motions shall include a certificate stating that the conference required by this Rule was held, together with the date and time of the conference and the names of all participating parties, or that the conference was not held despite reasonable efforts by the moving party to initiate the conference, setting forth the efforts made to speak by telephone or in person with opposing counsel. Motions unaccompanied by such certificate will be denied without prejudice to renew when accompanied by the required certificate.” (See Mass. R. Sup. Ct. 9C.)
It is well settled that pursuant to Mass.R.Civ.P. 42(b), 365 Mass. 805 (1974), “Trial judges have discretion to separate parties, claims, and issues in order to avoid prejudice or in the interest of expedition and economy.” (See Cambridge Trust Co. v. Commercial Union Ins. Co. (1992) 32 Mass. App. Ct. 561, 565.)
It is also well settled that pursuant to Rule 42(b) of the Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure, as amended, 423 Mass. 1402 (1996), separate trials are allowed “in furtherance of convenience or to avoid prejudice, or when separate trials will be conducive to expedition and economy.” (See In re Olav (2016) 89 Mass. App. Ct. 1125.)
