Determining Foreign Law

A party who intends to raise an issue about a foreign country’s law must give notice by a pleading or other writing. In determining foreign law, the court may consider any relevant material or source, including testimony, whether or not submitted by a party or admissible under the Wyoming Rules of Evidence. The court’s determination must be treated as a ruling on a question of law. History: Added February 2, 2017, effective March 1, 2017.
