Description

This case comes to us upon direct appeal from a cognovit judgment, which, the appellant alleges, violates provisions of the Constitution of Wyoming and the United States Constitution. Appellee, in whose favor judgment was entered, counters with a two-stage argument: (1) Cognovit judgments are not, per se, unconstitutional; and (2) since no facts were developed in the trial court, the Wyoming Supreme Court may not decide whether, under the particular facts of this case, the cognovit judgment offends either the Wyoming Constitution or the Constitution of the United States. We accept appellees argument and will affirm the trial court with respect to the facial validity of the cognovit judgment. The appeal also presents issues of unconscionability, the interpretation of our cognovit statutes and attorneys fees, all of which we will discuss.
