Abstract. The subject of the present article is the analysis of the issue of concurrence between the institute of an interlocutory judgment on preliminary ruling and a general declaratory action. The authors controversially raise the question whether the current legislation in the Slovak Republic in relation to the time limit for applying for an interlocutory judgment on preliminary ruling is proper and does not allow for different interpretations. They then analyse the possibility of filing an action for a declaratory judgment after the court has given a final decision on an obligation to perform. The article presents a view of the chosen issue in accordance with the current legislation in this area and tries to explain its purpose in a doctrinal and comparative manner, based primarily on the knowledge of Austrian doctrine and decision-making practice, as this legislation was the source of inspiration for the latent Slovak legislation. By analysing all these starting points, the authors conclude that the issue of the concurrence of the action for declaratory judgment and the action for the obligation to perform is still not sufficiently elaborated, and they offer their contribution as the beginning of a possible professional (scientific and jurisprudential) debate.

Key words: interlocutory judgment, preliminary ruling, application for interlocutory judgment, declaratory action
