WYOMING COURT RULES

72 record either by stenographic report or by the court’s written memoran- dum, the same may be considered on appeal. Requests for findings are not necessary for purposes of review. (2) Findings of a Master. The findings of a master, to the extent that the court adopts them, shall be considered as the findings of the chancery court. (b) Amendment or Additional Findings. On a party’s motion filed no later than 28 days after entry of judgment; the chancery court may amend its findings--or make additional findings--and may amend the judgment accord- ingly. The motion may accompany a motion for a new trial under Rule 59. When special findings of fact are made, the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the findings may be later questioned whether or not in the court the party raising the question objected to the findings, moved to amend them, or moved for partial findings. (c) Judgment on Partial Findings. If a party has been fully heard on an issue in a trial and the chancery court finds against the party on that issue, the chancery court may enter judgment as a matter of law against that party with respect to a claim or defense that cannot under the controlling law be maintained or defeated without a favorable finding on that issue, or the chancery court may decline to render any judgment until the close of all the evidence. The party against whom entry of such a judgment is considered shall be entitled to no special inference as a consequence of such consideration, and the chancery court may weigh the evidence and resolve conflicts. Such a judgment shall be supported by findings as provided in Rule 52(a). (d) Reserved Questions. (1) In General. In all cases in which a chancery court reserves an important and difficult constitutional question arising in an action or proceeding pending before it, the chancery court, before sending the question to the supreme court for decision, shall (A) dispose of all necessary and controlling questions of fact and make special findings of fact thereon, and (B) state its conclusions of law on all points of common law and of construction, interpretation and meaning of statutes and of all instru- ments necessary for a complete decision of the case. (2) Constitutional Questions. No constitutional question shall be deemed to arise in an action unless, after all necessary special findings of fact and conclusions of law have been made by the chancery court, a decision on the constitutional question is necessary to the rendition of final judgment. The constitutional question reserved shall be specific and shall identify the constitutional provision to be interpreted. The special findings of fact and conclusions of law required by this subdivision of this rule shall be deemed to be a final order from which either party may appeal, and such appeal may be considered by the supreme court simultaneously with the reserved question.
