Bringing money into court
BRINGING MONEY INTO COURT. The act of depositing money in the hands of the
proper officer of the court, for the purpose of satisfying a debt or duty,
or of an interpleader.
2. Whenever a tender of money is pleaded, and the debt is not
discharged by the tender and refusal, money may be brought into court,
without asking leave of the court; indeed, in such cases the money must be
brought into court in order to have the benefit of the tender. In other
cases, leave must be had, before the money can be brought into court.
3. In general, if the money brought into court is sufficient to satisfy
the plaintiff 's claim, he shall not recover costs. See Bac. Ab. Tender, &c.
