Talk:Declaratory judgment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rewrote this sentence:

In common law countries, declaratory judgement is a form of equitable relief.

That is too broad a statement. In some US jurisdictions, the declaratory judgment action is regarded as a creation of statute, rather than an equitable remedy. Also, of course, most jurisdictions have merged law and equiy jurisdiction. Ellsworth 00:42, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Dropped clause that a DJ might be sought:

"as part of a counter-suit to prevent further lawsuits".

The legal remedies used to prevent multiple lawsuits are more typically the interpleader or the bill of peace. Ellsworth 00:14, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
