I strenuously disagree with Mr. McCormick in his position that "the declaratory relief cause of action is usually just a throw away pleading that attorneys use to cover their backsides..."
When one actually understands the cause of action, one realizes that it can be quite powerful. It seeks a court declaration of the parties' rights, when an actual controversy exists.
Do not think of it as "a throw away." I think that would be wasting a, possibly, valuable legal tool.
