Where a defendant has lodged money in court in accordance with RSCOrder 14 as a condition of liberty to defend and he desires to appropriate the whole or any part of such money in satisfaction of the whole or any part of the plaintiff’s claim pursuant to RSCOrder 22, rule 8, he shall lodge with the Accountant General a notice of appropriation in the approved form.

Where a defendant wishes to appropriate money which has been paid into a county court and placed to a basic account under rule 31(4) he shall notify the proper officer and the Accountant General accordingly in the approved form.

On receipt of a notice of appropriation the Accountant General shall note the relevant account accordingly and shall withdraw the sum mentioned in the notice from the basic account.

If the plaintiff does not give notice of acceptance within the time limited by the RSC or the CCR, as the case may be, the Accountant General shall place the money in the basic account 21 days after he has received the notice of appropriation.

Where, before appropriation, interest has accrued on the money in question the interest may be included in the appropriation, and this rule shall apply to the interest in the same way as it applies to the money lodged.
