Heading: Board As A Necessary Party

Text: [¶25] Mr. Veile argues the Board is a necessary party to this appeal. Generally a court or board exercising judicial or quasi-judicial functions, not being a party to its proceedings, and not having any legal interest in maintaining its determination, can neither appeal from a judgment or order of a court reversing the proceedings nor be heard on the appeal. 4 C.J.S. Appeal and Error § 175 (1993), Antelope Valley Improvement & Service District v. State Board of Equalization, 992 P.2d 563 (Wyo. 1999). Any person who is not a party in an original action is not a necessary party to an appeal. Anita Ditch Co. v. Turner, 389 P.2d 1018, 1022 (Wyo. 1964). Clearly, the Board was not a party to the original action and cannot be a party to this appeal.
