Bailiff’s interpleader

(1) Where any person desires to make a claim to any personal property taken in execution under the process of the court or to the proceeds or value thereof, he shall make the claim in the court of the district where the writ issued or in the court of the district where that property was taken in execution. (2) The court shall thereupon, on the application of the bailiff who levied the execution or of the party on whose behalf the writ was issued, summon the party making the claim as the plaintiff, and the party on whose behalf a writ was issued as the defendant, to appear before it, and shall thereupon proceed to hear and determine the matter in a summary way as in an ordinary action, and the judgment as between the parties shall be final, subject to the right of either party to appeal therefrom. (3) The court shall have the same powers under this section and section 50 as in an ordinary action before it and costs shall be apportionable and recoverable in the same manner as in an ordinary action. (4) Fees to be demanded in all interpleader actions under this section shall be those chargeable and payable in ordinary 25 actions as set forth in Table B in the Schedule to the Inferior Courts Act, Cap. 94.
