(a) A person relying upon an uncured unlawful deceptive trade practice may bring an action under this act for the damages he has actually suffered as a consumer as a result of such unlawful deceptive trade practice.
(b) Any person who is entitled to bring an action under subsection (a) of this section on his own behalf against an alleged violator of this act for damages for an unlawful deceptive trade practice may bring a class action against such person on behalf of any class of persons of which he is a member and which has been damaged by such unlawful deceptive trade practice, subject to and pursuant to the Wyoming Rules of Civil Procedure governing class actions, except as herein expressly provided. If the court determines that actual damages have been suffered by reason of the unlawful deceptive trade practice, the court shall award reasonable attorney's fees to the plaintiffs in a class action under this subsection, provided that such fees shall be determined by the amount of time reasonably expended by the attorney for the plaintiffs and not by the amount of the judgment. Any monies or property recovered in a class action under this subsection which cannot, with due diligence, be restored to consumers within one (1) year after judgment becomes final shall be returned to the party depositing the same.
