Kavanagh, J.
(concurring). I concur in the opinion of Justice Smith insofar as he affirms the granting of the motion to dismiss on the theory that the court of claims does not have jurisdiction to render declaratory judgments.
I further concur in his statement that there is no need to consider the additional issues presented to us, though our failure to discuss the applicability of res judicata or collateral estoppel, or any other doctrine intended to prevent the bringing of repetitive actions over what is essentially the same cause of action, should not be interpreted as our sanction of what had been here done.
Kelly, J., concurred with Kavanagh, J.
