Can you get free quality legal advice from a judge by just filing a case for Declaratory Relief and the judge will have to research and precedentially answer it for you?

Lemmy.world was made by people from the Netherlands; are you talking about the law in the Netherlands, or some other country?

Probably common law places like US, UK etc

The test to see if the court is even willing to look at what you’ve filed is going to be different depending on what country you’re in.
The courts very different in those two countries.

That being said, dec relief isn’t really about getting advice, and judges are supposed to be impartial. It’s to “unvague” contracts, agreements, and resolutions. You likely won’t be told what you should do, but you may be told what you’ve already agreed to do.

The question is posted to a community@lemmy.ca so if one were to assume anything wouldn’t it make much more sense to assume Canadian?

I was going off of their home instance. When I asked, they said US or UK, so I feel my assumption of “not Canadian” was correct.

I don’t dispute that you were correct in guessing they weren’t Canadian, I just wasn’t following your logic.
