North Dakota Supreme Court January 13, 1982, Civ. 10054, 10054A, 10055, 10055A, 10056, 10056A (Otter Tail Power Co. v. Demchuk)

PEDERSON, Justice.

The two appeals which we have consolidated raise eminent domain questions which are unsettled in this state. If we are to reach those questions, it is necessary to bypass a procedural jungle which results from the consolidation in the trial court of three apparently representative cases from hundreds of cases filed, or to be filed, in three different counties.
