Interpleader is a remedy whereby a person, who has
property in his possession or an obligation to perform, either wholly or
partially, but who claims no interest in the subject, or whose interest, in
whole or in part, is not disputed by others, goes to court and asks that
conflicting claimants to the property or obligation be reduced to litigate
themselves in order to determine finally who’s entitled to the same.
Otherwise stated, a
person against whom conflicting claims are asserted by several claimants over
the same subject matter, but who claims no interest whatever therein, may bring
an action for interpleader against the several claimants to compel them to
interplead and litigate their several claims among themselves. (Section 1, Rule 62)
