Massima Omnilex

LAMA art. 12; exceptional retroactive premium for insured persons; frivolous appeal. An exceptional premium retroactively charged to insured persons may be upheld where supported by the applicable statutory framework and prior case law. A party who maintains an appeal despite having received the pertinent appellate decision may be sanctioned with a modest fee for temerity; persistence in such circumstances justifies a cost sanction.
