FAQ
The Court noted that while an action for a declaratory judgment is generally governed by a six-year statute of limitations (see CPLR 2131), the applicable statute of limitations in a declaratory judgment action is determined by the substantive nature of the claim.
Georgia Civil Statutes of Limitations Georgia has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, wrongful death actions, fraud, and medical malpractice claims. But claims related to personal property, trespassing, and debt collection have a four-year limit.
Declaratory judgments can provide legal certainty to each party in a matter when this could resolve or assist in a disagreement. Often an early resolution of legal rights will resolve some or all of the other issues in a matter.
Declaratory judgments are conclusive and legally binding, but do not have preclusive effect if: A later lawsuit involves issues other than those specifically litigated and ruled on in the declaratory judgment action.
For an actual controversy to be found, the plaintiff cannot be merely seeking advice from the court, but instead must show that the controversy between parties is substantial, immediate, and real and that the parties have adverse legal interests.
Injunctive relief, also known as an injunction, is a remedy which restrains a party from doing certain acts or requires a party to act in a certain way. It is generally only available when there is no other remedy at law and irreparable harm will result if the relief is not granted.
Because an injunction is a court order, a violation of which can result in a sanction, it seems “stronger” than the declaratory judgment, which only sets out the relative legal positions of the parties.
