Question juridique clé
Whether the appellant had a legally protected interest to seek a negative declaratory finding that he owed nothing to the insurer.
Solution extraite
No protected interest was shown, because the insurer had already explained that nothing more was owed and that it would not pursue the appellant.
Motifs extraits
A negative declaratory action requires a worthy interest in a declaration; absent any realistic dispute or enforcement threat, the appeal cannot be examined on the merits.
