§ 26801. Declaratory Relief.
COL3242015
Any person interested under a deed, will, or other written instrument,
or under a contract, or who desires a declaration of his rights or duties with
respect to another, or in respect to, in, over, or upon property, or with respect
to the location of the natural channel of a water course, may, in cases of
actual controversy relating to the legal rights and duties of the respective
parties, bring an action in the court having jurisdiction for a declaration of
his rights and duties in the premises, including a determination of any
question of construction or validity arising under such instrument or
contract. He may ask for a declaration of rights or duties, either alone or with
other relief; and the court may make a binding declaration of such rights or
duties, whether or not further relief is or could be claimed at the time. The
declaration may be either affirmative or negative in form and effect, and
such declaration shall have the force of a final judgment. Such declaration
may be had before there has been any breach of the obligation in respect to
which said declaration is sought.
