Text

(a) An occupying claimant desiring a jury trial shall have
five (5) days and the opposite party ten (10) days after the
rendering of the judgment as provided in W.S. 1-32-209 to demand
a jury and deposit a jury fee as in civil actions. If no jury is
demanded the case shall be tried by the court.
(b) For the trial of the question of fact a jury, if
demanded, shall view the premises in question. From the view and
the testimony, the jury shall find in their verdict:
(i) The reasonable value of the permanent and
valuable improvements made on the land previous to the occupying
claimant's receipt of actual notice of the adverse claim of the
plaintiff;
(ii) The damages, if any, the land has sustained by
waste, including the value of the timber or other valuable
material removed or destroyed; and
(iii) The net annual value of the rents and profits
of the land accruing after the occupying claimant received
notice of claim by service of summons.
(c) The jury shall find the value of the land at the time
judgment was rendered with the improvements thereon and its
value without the improvements or damages sustained by waste and
return their verdict in open court.
