Summary Judgment, Memorandum and noted it for hearing. The best thing I can say is that “it worked.” We did get the earnest money deposit back. Attorney fees was another matter. The trial judge awarded my client attorney fees. The defendant appealed and
it went up to Div. III who reversed. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p>One of the things I recall from Civ Pro is that there is no such thing as a compulsory cross-claim.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I don't see stating the facts that give rise to the claim to the money being in the nature of a cross claim. Is an Interpleader more of an In Rem proceeding?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In order to get complete joinder between the parties, since the Complaint really says nothing about the nature of the claim between the Buyer and Seller, is it necessary for the Buyer and Seller to allege cross-claims against each other
in their Answers to the Complaint? (And so incur an additional $240 filing fee each, at least in King County.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think yes, based on general civil pleading rules? But it seems crazy that there needs to be three filing fees paid for every interpleader action.<o:p></o:p></p>
