California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Galvan v. Dameron Hosp. Ass'n, 250 Cal.Rptr.3d 16, 37 Cal.App.5th 549 (Cal. App. 2019):

2 While denominated "causes of action" in the complaint, declaratory and injunctive relief are remedies, not causes of action. (McDowell v. Watson (1997) 59 Cal.App.4th 1155, 1159, 69 Cal.Rptr.2d 692.)
