- W2893593723 abstract "Judges have always been suspect of declaratory judgment actions, and more particularly, the “mirror-image” case where the alleged wrongdoer takes on the role of the plaintiff. Federal courts typically point out that nothing in the Declaratory Judgment Act requires them to hear a request for declaratory relief; indeed, their jurisdiction is entirely discretionary. Consequently, most circuits have developed a list of factors to help them decide when to exercise jurisdiction over a declaratory judgment case, and when to dismiss. One common element courts often point to is whether the suit was brought “anticipatorily” by a plaintiff seeking to establish the forum of its choice, rather than waiting to be sued by the “natural plaintiff” in a less-defendant friendly forum. Courts bemoan such “races to the courthouse” as “disorderly” attempts at “procedural fencing.” Unfortunately, the circuits have done an atrocious job of providing any meaningful or helpful guidance to lower courts and litigants regarding what constitutes an “anticipatory” lawsuit. Courts routinely dismiss cases seeking declaratory relief by reasoning that the plaintiff was trying to distort the purpose of the statute and rob the “natural plaintiff” of its chosen venue. They do so by applying a mishmash of factors and rules that lack any uniformity and oftentimes clash with the statute’s purpose. This Article attempts to bring some semblance of order to the “anticipatory lawsuit” exception. It ultimately does so by proposing two rather radical suggestions: First, that courts should — for the most part — forget about “races to the courthouse” and worry instead about easier-to-apply and easier-to-anticipate factors. And second, that perhaps declaratory filers should have to give notice of their intention to file suit, thereby offering the “natural plaintiff” a fair opportunity to exercise its traditional litigation rights without being unfairly “beaten” to the courthouse." @default.
