§ RULE 67. DEPOSIT IN COURT

RULE 67. DEPOSIT IN COURT

(a) In an action in which any part of the relief sought is a judgment for a sum of money or the disposition of a sum of money or the disposition of any other thing capable of delivery, a party, upon notice to every other party, and by leave of court, may deposit with the court all or any part of such sum or thing to be held by the clerk of the court, or upon court order to be deposited in an interest-bearing account or invested in an interest-bearing instrument, subject to withdrawal, in whole or in part, at any time thereafter upon order of the court.

ADVISORY COMMITTEE'S NOTE

The federal rule is revised to provide for withdrawal, in lieu of the reference to federal statute.

(b) When it is admitted by the pleading or examination of a party, that the party has possession or control of any money or other thing capable of delivery, which, being the subject of litigation, is held by the party as trustee for another party, or which belongs or is due to another party, the court may order the same, upon motion, to be deposited in court, or deposited in an interest-bearing account or invested in an interest-bearing instrument, or delivered to such party, upon such conditions as may be just, subject to the further direction of the court.

ADVISORY COMMITTEE'S NOTE

A new subdivision is inserted to set forth the provisions of NCL § 8748.
