A declaratory judgment is a special type of lawsuit that allows you to seek a court order explaining the legal rights and duties of the parties to the suit. The court's order is as final and enforceable like any other legal judgment.
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.
issued declaratory judgment outlines the rights and responsibilities of each involved party. This judgment does not require action or award damages. It helps to resolve disputes and prevent lawsuits.
Code §6-6-220-232. Unlike typical civil lawsuits, the Alabama Declaratory Judgment Act allows a party to file a lawsuit for the sole purpose of getting a legally binding court order defining the party's rights, responsibilities, and obligations under the circumstances at issue.
"The essential requirements of a declaratory judgment action are: (1) a plaintiff with a legal tangible interest; (2) a defendant having an opposing interest; and (3) an actual controversy between the parties concerning such interests. [Citations.]
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.
