Syllabus

Because neither the plaintiff nor the defendant filed a claim (or counterclaim) for declaratory judgment and because a \motion for a declaratory judgment\ is a nullity, the trial court did not err by refusing to consider a motion for summary judgment and the memorandum in opposition as \motions for declaratory judgment.\ Where a student drove members of a club team to and from a tournament in a personal vehicle without the knowledge of the University and in violation of University policy, he was not an agent of the University and the University could not be liable through the doctrine of respondeat superior.
