Rule 1 Payment into court by trustees

Where a person desires to pay money or securities into court under section 63 of the Trustee Act (Northern Ireland) 1958^f1 he shall file in the Office an affidavit in Form 132 containing the information required thereby and shall pay the money or securities into court in accordance with Court Funds Rules.

The costs incurred in the payment into court may be retained by the person making the payment into court.

The chief clerk may require in addition to the affidavit such evidence as he thinks proper with regard to the matter in respect of which the payment is made into court.

As soon as he receives it the chief clerk shall endorse on the affidavit a memorandum of the day on which it is filed and the affidavit shall be taken for all purposes to have been duly filed on the day so endorsed on it.

On the filing of the affidavit, the chief clerk shall enter the matter in the books of the court, and shall send to each person mentioned in paragraph 4 of the affidavit at the address given therein a notice of the payment into court in Form 133.

The persons filing the affidavit or any of them may apply to the chief clerk for a certificate in Form 134.
