What is a declaratory judgment?

A declaratory judgment is a type of court ruling used in Nebraska contract law. It is a court order that makes a statement about the rights or obligations of two or more parties who are involved in a dispute. A declaratory judgment does not necessarily grant one party the right to take any concrete action, but rather it acts as a statement of what the court has determined to be the truth in a specific situation. This type of judgment is often used to settle contract disputes and can be used to settle questions of whether a contract exists and enforce specific provisions in a contract. It can also be used to make other types of definitive legal statements, such as defining the ownership rights of a particular piece of property. In some cases, a declaratory judgment may be used to prevent one party from taking any action that would be a violation of the judgment.
