L. 71http://hdl.handle.net/2346/73995This article explains ways that the Uniform Declaratory Judgments Act (UDJA) and the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) provide additional and alternative remedies that go beyond the appeal provisions of the APA. It discusses how these provisions cannot be used to duplicate the appeal remedies under the APA, but how they can be used when dealing with agencies in cases where the APA affords no relief. It explains what courts have jurisdiction to render declaratory judgments under the UDJA, how it is different from the APA, and agency authority that challenges UDJA claims. Next, it discusses declaratory judgements under the APA. Finally, it provides strategic considerations through a comparison of pursuing declaratory judgments under the UDJA and the APA.engAdministrative lawDeclaratory judgmentAdministrative agencyUniform Declaratory Judgments ActUDJAAdministrative Procedure ActAPACity of Sherman v.
