The claimant interpleader appealed summary dismissal of its claim.
Held: The appeal was upheld. Despite the Civil Procedure Rules, the old case law on interpleader retained value. Although under the new rules, the precise formulation of an issue might be dispensed with, the matter could not be dealt with out of hand except in exceptional circumstances which did not apply here.
