payment into court

Read a random definition: Bureau of Reclamation

A quick definition of payment into court:

Payment into court: Money or property given to the court clerk to be distributed after a lawsuit is finished. Usually, the person making the payment is a defendant who might have to pay the plaintiff. If the defendant is found guilty, the payment goes to the plaintiff. If not, the defendant gets the payment back. Sometimes, people who are not involved in the lawsuit might make a payment into court if they owe money or property that is being disputed. In landlord-tenant law, payment into court is when a tenant deposits rent money with the court during a dispute with the landlord to avoid being evicted.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Payment into court refers to money or property that is given to the court clerk to be distributed after a lawsuit is concluded. It is typically made by a defendant who may be found liable to the plaintiff, and the payment is meant to satisfy any potential liability. If the defendant is found liable, the payment goes to the plaintiff. If the defendant is found not liable, then the defendant receives the payment back.

For example, if a person is sued for causing a car accident, they may make a payment into court to cover any damages that they may be found liable for. If they are found liable, the payment will go to the other driver. If they are found not liable, they will receive the payment back.

Payment into court can also be made by a person who owes money or property that is being disputed by parties. For instance, a customer might make payment into court for money owed to a business partnership, if the partnership has dissolved and one partner is suing the other for ownership of the business's assets.

In landlord-tenant law, payment into court can refer to rent money that a tenant deposits with a court during a dispute with the landlord, often to avoid eviction. For example, if a tenant is being evicted for not paying rent, they may make a payment into court to show that they are willing to pay the rent owed and avoid eviction.
