38 Interpleader
Where relief by way of interpleader is granted in any court and it
appears to that court that the claims in question are matters to which
an arbitration agreement (to which the claimants are parties) applies,
the court must, unless it is satisfied that there is sufficient reason why
the matters should not be referred to arbitration in accordance with
the agreement, make an order directing the issue between the
claimants to be determined in accordance with the agreement.
