CVC Investments LLP v. State Farm Fire and Casualty Company

An insured does not establish a justiciable controversy sufficient to support a declaratory judgment claim by alleging only that it demanded appraisal and tolling of the limitations period and that the insurance company had not agreed to either demand, when the insurance company was not yet obligated to respond. 2. An insured does not establish a justiciable controversy sufficient to support a breach-of-contract claim by alleging that an insurance company's future denial of an appraisal demand or future refusal to pay an appraisal award would breach the insurance policy. Affirmed in part, reversed in part.
