A declaratory judgment establishes the rights and other legal actions of the parties without providing for or ordering enforcement.
A declaratory judgment is a binding judgment from a court defining the legal relationship between parties and their rights in a matter before the court. When there is uncertainty as to the legal obligations or rights between two parties, a declaratory judgment offers an immediate means to resolve this uncertainty.
A plaintiff seeking declaratory relief must show that there is an actual controversy even though declaratory relief will not order enforceable action against the defendant. An actual controversy means there is a connection between the challenged conduct and injury, and redressability that the court could order.
A Declaratory Judgment establishes the rights and other legal relations of the parties without providing for enforcement. For example, if you purchased a vehicle or boat and cannot obtain the Certificate of Title from the previous owner, you would need to obtain a judgment declaring your ownership.
While denominated "causes of action" in the complaint, declaratory and injunctive relief are remedies, not causes of action.
A declaratory judgment is a ruling of the court to clarify something (usually a contract provision) that is in dispute. A summary judgment is a ruling that a case or portion of a case must be dismissed because there are no triable issues of material fact in dispute.
The court may order a speedy hearing of an action for a declaratory judgment and may advance it on the calendar. The court has power to give as full and complete equitable relief as it would have had if such proceeding had been instituted as an action in chancery.
Declaratory judgments are considered legally binding and any party in a contract can petition the court to have its rights and obligations defined by the court.
