- Exceptions.

District courts may, in cases of actual controversy, determine

rights, status, or other legal relations, including but not limited

to a determination of the construction or validity of any foreign

judgment or decree, deed, contract, trust, or other instrument or

agreement or of any statute, municipal ordinance, or other

governmental regulation, whether or not other relief is or could be

claimed, except that no declaration shall be made concerning

liability or nonliability for damages on account of alleged tortious

injuries to persons or to property either before or after judgment

or for compensation alleged to be due under workers' compensation

laws for injuries to persons. The determination may be made either

before or after there has been a breach of any legal duty or

obligation, and it may be either affirmative or negative in form and

effect; provided however, that a court may refuse to make a

determination where the judgment, if rendered, would not terminate

the controversy, or some part thereof, giving rise to the

proceeding.
