 Michigan Appellate Digest - 92228 Allstate Insurance Co v Hayes
A court's decision to determine parties' rights in a declaratory judgment action is entrusted to the sound discretion of the court.
Thus, in a declaratory judgment action, if a court would not otherwise have subject matter jurisdiction over an issue or if the issue is not justiciable because it does not involve an actual controversy between interested persons asserting adverse claims, a court may not declare the rights and obligations of the parties.
The purpose of a declaratory judgment is to allow parties to avoid multiple litigations by seeking a determination of questions formerly not amenable to judicial determination.

The question for a district court presented with a suit under the Declaratory Judgment Act, the Court found, is "whether the questions in controversy between the parties to the federal suit, and which are not foreclosed under the applicable substantive law, can better be settled in the proceeding pending in the state court."

 IBM seeks knockout blow in SCO case InfoWorld News 2004-03-30 By Robert McMillan, IDG News Service
IBM asked the court to rule that it has not infringed on SCO's copyright and has not breached its contractual obligations to SCO.
In an amended counterclaim to SCO's lawsuit that was filed Friday, IBM asked the District Court for the District of Utah to enter a declaratory judgement in its favor.
Because IBM's filing seeks the broad judgement that IBM has not infringed on "any valid or enforceable copyright owned by SCO," a declaratory judgement in its favor would prevent SCO from bringing up new copyright claims later in the trial, and would have a devastating impact on SCO's case, Neuberger said.
