(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 and Statutes. This rule supplements- and does not limit-the joinder of parties allowed by Rule 20. The remedy this rule provides is in addition to-and does not supersede or limit-the remedy provided by any Nevada statute authorizing interpleader. These rules apply to any action brought under statutory interpleader provisions,except as otherwise provided by Rule 81.Last amended effective 1/1/2005; amended effective 3/1/2019.Drafter's Note
