Rule 67 – Deposit in Court

May 14, 2021 | Civil Procedure, Vermont

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, or, in an action in which trustee process is used, a trustee, may upon notice to every other party, and by leave of court, deposit with the court all or part of such sum or thing whether or not that party claims all or any part of the sum or thing. The party making the deposit shall serve the order permitting deposit on the clerk of the court. Money paid into court under this rule shall be deposited in such depository as the court having custody shall designate (which designation shall be minuted on the docket) and shall be withdrawn therefrom upon order of the clerk, countersigned by any Superior Judge. The fund shall be deposited in an interest-bearing account or invested in an interest-bearing instrument approved by the court.
