Opinion
March 24, 1941.
In an action for a declaratory judgment, defendants appeal from an order which granted reargument and on reargument annulled a prior order and denied defendants' motion to dismiss the second cause of action set forth in the complaint. Order on reargument, in so far as appealed from, reversed on the law and the facts, with ten dollars costs and disbursements, and motion granted to the extent of striking out the second cause of action, without costs, with leave to plaintiff to serve an amended complaint within ten days from the entry of the order hereon. In the exercise of sound discretion the action for a declaratory judgment should not be entertained on the facts here invoked. The plaintiff should seek its remedy on the same facts and proof in a direct action for damages, as all the rights in favor of the plaintiff against defendants have accrued.
