“The test to determine the propriety of declaratory relief is whether the issuance of a declaratory judgment will effectively solve the problem involved, whether it will serve a useful purpose, and whether or not another remedy is more effective or efficient. The determinative factor of this test is whether the declaratory action will result in a just and more expeditious and economical determination of the entire controversy.”
