Declaratory Judgment

These rules govern the procedure for obtaining a declaratory judgment under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1491(b)(2) and 1507. The existence of another adequate remedy does not preclude a declaratory judgment that is otherwise appropriate. The court may order a speedy hearing of a declaratory- judgment action. (As revised and reissued May 1, 2002; as amended Nov. 3, 2008.) Rules Committee Notes 2002 Revision The former reference to 28 U.S.C. § 1491(a) has been changed to reflect that the court’s authority to render declaratory judgments in the context of procurement protests is now found in 28 U.S.C. § 1491(b)(2). 2008 Amendment The language of RCFC 57 has been amended to conform to the general restyling of the FRCP.
