Declaratory Actions
You have an agreement. You think it means one thing, but the other side thinks it means something else. Both sides have a real controversy over what their agreement means. You would like to know who is right because you do not want to be the party that breaches the agreement. What can you do? Or, your business may be regulated by a state or federal statute. You think it means one thing, but the other side thinks it means something else. Both sides have a real controversy about the statute's meaning. You need to know who is right because you do not want to violate the statute. What can you do?
​
Declaratory actions: Both federal and state laws provide procedures that allow courts to declare parties' rights under contracts or statutes even before the contract is broken or the statute violated.
