(735 ILCS 5/2-409) (from Ch. 110, par. 2-409)
Sec. 2-409.
Interpleader.
Persons having claims against the plaintiff arising out of the same
or related subject matter may be joined as defendants and required to
interplead when their claims may expose plaintiff to double or multiple
liability. It is not a ground for objection to interpleader that the
claims of the several claimants or the titles upon which their claims
depend do not have a common origin or are not identical, or are adverse
to or independent of one another, or that the plaintiff avers that he or she is
not liable in whole or in part to any of or all the claimants. A
defendant under similar circumstances may obtain like relief by
counterclaim. The provisions hereof are not a limitation upon the
joinder of parties or causes of action.
