Syllabus

Ohio's declaratory judgment statues, while broad in scope, are not limitless. As set forth in R.C. 2721.03, the Declaratory Judgment Act contemplates a written contract or other writing for the court to interpret as to the rights and obligations of the parties thereto. While appellant may have an interest in appellee's contracts with its employees, it is not a \party interested\ in those contracts as contemplated by the Declaratory Judgment Act. Declaratory judgment was the wrong vehicle to challenge the validity of contracts to which it was not a party.
