11.10 Any Party to this Agreement serving a notice of arbitration shall send a copy of that notice to every other Party. Any respondent to a claim may join any other Party as a party to the arbitration, to afford that party an opportunity to defend against the claim or to assert against that party a substantially related claim. Any Party that is not already a party to the arbitration may intervene as a party to the arbitration to defend against a claim or to assert against any other Party a substantially related claim. Any joined or intervening Party shall be bound by any award rendered by the arbitration tribunal even if such Party chooses not to participate in the arbitration proceedings. Any joinder or intervention pursuant to this Clause shall be made by serving written notice on all Parties within thirty (30) days from receipt of the notice of arbitration to which the joinder or intervention relates.

The arbitration tribunal shall not consolidate such arbitrations unless it determines that (i) there are issues of fact or law common to the two proceedings such that a consolidated proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings, and (ii) no party would be prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay or otherwise.
