MARVIN MANDEL, Governor                                      121

MARRIAGE IS SOUGHT.

(E) SPEEDY HEARING.

A COURT MAY ORDER A SPEEDY HEARING OF AN ACTION
OF A DECLARATORY JUDGMENT AND MAY ADVANCE IT ON THE
CALENDAR.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language
derived from Art. 31A, §6.

SEC. 3-410. COSTS.

IN ANY PROCEEDING CINDER THIS ARTICLE THE COURT
MAY MAKE SUCH AWARD OF COSTS AS MAY SEEM EQUITABLE AND
JUST.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 31A, §10. This section is retained
because Rule 604 does not cover it. It is
believed that declaratory judgment
proceedings are unique in that there is no
"prevailing party".

SEC. 3-411. FORM AND EFFECT OF DECLARATION.

THE DECLARATION MAY BE AFFIRMATIVE OR NEGATIVE IN
FORM AND EFFECT AND HAS THE FORCE AND EFFECT OF A
FINAL JUDGMENT OR DECREE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
the last sentence of Art. 31A, §1. They
are separated from other provisions for the
purpose of better organization. The only
other changes made are in style.

SEC. 3-412. SUPPLEMENTARY RELIEF.

(A)   FURTHER RELIEF.

FURTHER RELIEF BASED ON A DECLARATORY JUDGMENT OR
DECREE MAY BE GRANTED IF NECESSARY OR PROPER.

(B)   APPLICATION.

AN APPLICATION FOR FURTHER RELIEF SHALL BE BY
PETITION TO A COURT HAVING JURISDICTION TO GRANT THE
RELIEF.

(C)   SHOW CAUSE ORDER.
