Reported Cases
Areas of Law considered in this case: - Sheriff's Interpleader - Rule 13.05(2) of the Rules of Civil Procedure - Business Law - Civil Litigation
Danbrie Agri-Products Mfg. Ltd. v. Martens Pipe Products Inc., [1987] O.J. No. 1401 January 30, 1987
Interpleader is an underused and very effective remedy where the Sheriff, or any other party, has received competing claims to money or goods or other valuables. Rule 13.05(2) of the Rules of Civil Procedure governed in this case.
My client the Sheriff had seized goods in the execution of a writ of seizure and sale [one of the enforcement mechanisms that Rule 60.07 of the Rules of Civil Procedure provide after Judgment is obtained]
Not only did another company claim ownership of these goods, but the Ontario Development Corporation claimed a first mortgage on the goods.
Other execution creditors also joined the proceedings, and appeared at the hearing.
The presiding Judge ordered that the Sheriff's liability respecting the goods was extinguished. The Sheriff was awarded his costs against the company from which the goods were seized.
After procedural concessions were made, the Judge heard evidence as to the competing claims to ownership of the goods. The Judge found that one of the claimants had established ownership of the goods.
As the Sheriff had sold the goods, in accordance with Rule 60.07 of the Rules of Civil Procedure, the moneys received were directed paid out of court to the owners. The owners were also awarded costs payable by the company, which had had possession of the goods on their premises.
Since there were many parties, and the amount of money involved was not large enough to warrant a pretrial and then a trial of the issues, I persuaded the presiding judge to dispense with the pretrial, and determine the matter on a final basis, which he did.
