ações de simples apreciação negativa

English translation: actions for negative declaratory relief

Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / Bankruptcy
Portuguese term or phrase: ações de simples apreciação negativa
"Nos termos do disposto no artigo 584.º do CPC, a apresentação de um articulado de réplica é admissível em duas situações: (i) quando exista reconvenção (n.º 1) e (ii) nas ações de simples apreciação negativa (n.º 2)."

Phrase appears in bankruptcy litigation. It looks like an action to challenge the law or facts raised by the other party, but I'm struggling to find the specific term in English. UK English preferred. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
