RULE 67. DEPOSIT IN COURT
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, upon notice to every other party, and by leave of court, may deposit with the court all or any part of that sum or thing, whether or not that party claims all or any part of the sum or thing. The party making the deposit shall file with the clerk the order permitting the deposit. Money paid into court under this rule must be deposited and withdrawn in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 32-11, North Dakota Century Code. Pending disposition of the money, the court in its order may direct the clerk to deposit the money in an insured interest-bearing account or to invest the money in an insured interest-bearing instrument.
