How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• determining that first-filing party’s desire to determine obligations under contract is not enough to demonstrate litigation and immediate resolution is necessary such that declaratory judgment is otherwise appropriate
• “Evidence of insufficient notice of a change in the first-filing party’s position on the dispute prior to filing of the first action is indicative of a rush to the court house and thus, compelling circumstances warranting non-application of the ‘first-filed’ rule.” (emphasis added)
