§ 45-29-9. Consolidation of trials - Precedence in court. In case two (2) or more conflicting petitioners make claim to the same land, or to any interests in it, or to different interests in the same parcel of land, the superior court, upon motion, shall consolidate their several petitions for trial at the same time by the same jury, and may frame all necessary issues for the trial. All proceedings taken pursuant to the provisions of §§ 45-29-1 - 45-29-12 shall take precedence over all other civil matters then pending before the court, or if the superior court in and for the county in which the land, or interest in it, lies, not in session in that county, then the petition may be heard in the superior court for the counties of Providence and Bristol.
