Summary

HOLDINGS: [1]-When plaintiffs lessees sued defendant lessor for allegedly invasive programs the lessor placed on computers leased from the lessor without the lessees' knowledge or consent, the Wyoming Supreme Court recognized the common law tort of intrusion upon seclusion because Wyoming's policy favored privacy interests and legislative enactments protected those interests, so the tort was well adapted to Wyoming's circumstances and state of society, and the tort had not been repealed by statute nor was it otherwise inconsistent with Wyoming law.
