Payment of Money into Court

Payment of Money into Court, i.e., the deposit of money with the official of or banker to the Court for the purpose of proceedings commenced in that Court. Payment into Court is not strictly a defence; it is rather an attempt at a compromise. No such plea was known to the Common Law; it is entirely the creature of Statute (Odgers on Pleading). By the (English) C.L.P. Act, 1852, s. 70, the defendant in all actions (except for assault and battery false imprisonment, libel, slander, malicious arrest or prosecution or seduction) might pay into Court a sum of money by way of compensation or amends, and by the Libel Act, 1843, money might be paid into Court in actions of libel, but this provision was repealed by the (English) Statute Law Revision Act, 1879.Payment into court is now regulated by (English) R.S.C. 1883, Ord. XXII, by which, where any action is brought to recover a debt or damages, any defendant may, before or at the time of delivering his defence, or by leave of the Court or a ...

Restitution, Writ of

Restitution, Writ of. If the judgment below was reserved in a court of error, the plaintiff in error might have had a writ of restitution in order that he might be restored to all he had lost by the judgment. If execution on the former judgment had been actually executed, and the money paid over, the writ of restitution issued without any previous scire facias quare restitutionem non, suggesting the matter of fact, viz., the sum levied, etc., must have previously issued. Error is now abolished (Jud. Act, 1875, Ord. LVIII., r. 1). And, generally, if money, etc., be levied under a writ of execution, and the judgment be afterwards reversed or set aside, the party against whom the execution was sued out may have his writ of restitution; but where the judgment is set aside for irregularity, etc., restitution (when necessary) forms part of the rule; and if the goods or money be not restored, the Court will grant an attachment. A writ of restitution may also be awarded when a judgment in ejec...
