Rule 3201. Scope

    These rules govern the procedure in sheriff's interpleader when tangible personal property levied upon pursuant to a writ of execution is claimed to be the property of a person other than the defendant in the execution.

    Note: See Execution Rule 3122 limiting venue of interpleader to the county where the levy is made.

    These rules do not apply where tangible property is attached under Rule 3108(a) rather than levied upon. If the garnishee claims the property the garnishee may interplead under Rules 2301 et seq. If an outside person claims the property, such person may intervene in the garnishment proceedings or the garnishee may defend the attachment by asserting the outside person's title and denying that the garnishee holds any property of the defendant.
