OPINION
STRAS, Justice.
The question presented by this case is whether statutes of limitations apply to actions for declaratory judgment. Because the Uniform Declaratory Judgments Act, Minn. Stat. ch. 555 (2010), is a procedural device through which parties may vindicate substantive legal rights, we conclude that an action for declaratory judgment is barred by an applicable statute of limitations to the same extent that the same cause of action would be barred in a nondeclaratory proceeding. We therefore reverse and remand.
