RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE For the Trial Division of the Yap ...

Rule 67. Deposit in Court. In an action in which any part of the relief sought is a
judgment for a sum of money or the disposition of a sum of money or the disposition of
any other thing capable of delivery, a party, upon notice to every other party, and by
leave of court, may deposit with the court all or any part of such sum or thing.
Money paid into court under this rule shall be promptly deposited by the clerk in a
bank licensed to do business in the State of Yap in the name and to the credit of the court.
No money deposited shall be withdrawn except by order of the court.
Comment: The sources of this rule are U.S. Federal rule 67 and Title 28, Sections
2041 and 2042 of the United States Code.
Rule 68. Offer of Judgment. At any time more than 10 days before the trial begins, a
party defending against a claim may serve upon the adverse party an offer to allow
judgment to be taken against him for the money or property or to the effect specified in
his offer, with costs then accrued. If within 10 days after the service of the offer the
adverse party serves written notice that the offer is accepted, either party may then file
the offer and notice of acceptance together with proof of service thereof and thereupon
the clerk shall enter judgment. An offer not accepted shall be deemed withdrawn and
evidence thereof is not admissible except in a proceeding to determine cost. If the
judgment finally obtained by the offeree is not more favorable than the offer, the offeree
must pay the costs incurred after the making of the offer. The fact that an offer is made
but not accepted does not preclude a subsequent offer. When the liability of one party to
another has been determined by finding or order or judgment, but the amount or extent of
the liability remains to be determined by further proceedings, the party adjudged liable
may make an offer of judgment, which shall have the same effect as an offer made before
trial if it is served within a reasonable time not less than 10 days prior to the
commencement of hearings to determine the amount or extent of liability.
Rule 69. Execution.
(a) In General. Process to enforce a judgment for the. payment of money shall be a
writ of execution, unless the court directs otherwise. The procedure on execution, in
proceedings supplementary to and in aid of a judgment, and in proceedings on and in aid
of execution shall be in accordance with these rules except that any law of the State of
Yap governs to the extent it is applicable. In aid of the judgment or execution, the
judgment creditor or his successor in interest when that interest appears of record, may
obtain discovery from any person, including the judgment debtor, in the manner provided
in these rules.
(b) Vacant. (Against Certain Public Officers)
Rule 70. Judgment for Specific Acts; Vesting Title. If a judgment directs a party to
