Collusive Action

An impermissible action maintained by non-adversary parties to determine a hypothetical point of law, or to produce a desired legal precedent. Such suits will not be entertained in federal courts because the Constitution requires an actual case or controversy. 319 U.S. 302. State courts also prohibit collusive actions. 140 P. 2d 666, 669, 670. Compare advisory opinions, declaratory judgment.
