6A Payment into court
(1) In every such action the defendant may pay money into court as a
compensation in one sum to all persons entitled under this Act for the
wrongful act neglect or default without specifying the shares into which the
sum is to be divided by the jury.
(2) If the sum paid in is not accepted, and
if an issue is taken by the plaintiff as to its sufficiency, and the jury
think the same sufficient, the defendant shall be entitled to the verdict upon
that issue.
(3) No portion of the sum paid in shall be paid out of court
except under the order of a judge.
