W.R.C.P. 22
Interpleader
(a) Grounds. —
(1) By a Plaintiff. — Persons with claims that may expose a plaintiff to
double or multiple liability may be joined as defendants and required to
interplead. Joinder for interpleader is proper even though:
(A) the claims of the several claimants, or the titles on which their
claims depend, lack a common origin or are adverse and independent
rather than identical; or
(B) the plaintiff denies liability in whole or in part to any or all of the
claimants.
(2) By a Defendant. — A defendant exposed to similar liability may seek
interpleader through a crossclaim or counterclaim.
(b) Relation to Other Rules. — This rule supplements — and does not limit
— the joinder of parties allowed by Rule 20.
