An Intermediate Court shall have jurisdiction to grant relief by way of interpleader —

where a bailiff or other person is charged with the execution of a writ, warrant or order of an Intermediate Court and a claim is made to any money or other movable property taken or intended to be taken in execution of that writ, warrant or order, or to the proceeds or value of any such property, by any person other than the person against whom the writ, warrant or order was issued or made; and

where the person seeking relief is under liability for any debt, money or other movable property of which the amount or value does not exceed $300,000 or such higher sum as the Chief Justice may prescribe by order published in the Gazette and for or in respect of which he has been or expects to be sued by two or more parties making adverse claims thereto.
