ANNOTATION
Relief is not limited by language of statute or rule to prevailing party in declaratory judgment action. Atchison v. City of Englewood, 180 Colo. 407, 506 P.2d 140 (1973).
Reversal of an underlying declaratory judgment is not the "further relief" contemplated by this section and C.R.C.P. 57(h) but is, instead, ordinary postjudgment relief. While "further relief" is not limited to the original prevailing party, nevertheless, such relief must seek remedies different from those granted in the declaratory judgment. Spencer v. Bd. of County Comm'rs, 39 P.3d 1272 (Colo. App. 2001).
