““The extraordinary remedy of an injunction is a far-reaching force and must not be indulged in under hastily contrived conditions. It is a delicate judicial power and a court must proceed with caution and deliberation before exercising the remedy.” Simpson v. Petroleum, Inc., Wyo., 548 P.2d 1, 3 (1976).”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“"The author of the majority opinion here wrote, very recently (February 12, 1976), in the cases of Mader v. Fanning ; James v. Fanning ; and Mader v. James, Wyo., 546 P.2d 190 , 195: "`... A question not raised in the trial court cannot be considered by the supreme court. Guggemos v. Tom Searl-Frank McCue, Inc., Wyo. 1971, 481 P.2d 48, 51 ; Gaido v. Tysdal, supra [ 68 Wyo. 490 , 235 P.2d 741 ]. See also the multitude of cases cited in West's Wyoming Digest, Appeal and Error. "In my judgment, the majority opinion in this appeal destroys the efficacy of this rule, rendering it so devastated and shattered as to be incapable of being longer relied upon by the Bench and Bar for appellate purposes."”
