§2033. Judgment upon the assessment
A. On the return day of the order to show cause provided for in R.S. 22:2031 if the member or subscriber does not appear and serve verified objections upon the commissioner of insurance, the court shall make an order adjudging that such member or subscriber is liable for the amount of the assessment against him together with ten dollars cost, and that the commissioner of insurance may have judgment against the member or subscriber therefor.
B. If on such return day the member or subscriber shall appear and serve verified objections upon the commissioner of insurance, there shall be a full hearing before the court or a referee to hear and determine, who, after such hearing, shall make an order either negating the liability of the member or subscriber to pay the assessment or affirming his liability to pay the whole or some part thereof together with twenty-five dollars costs and the necessary disbursements incurred at such hearing, and directing that the commissioner of insurance in the latter case may have judgment therefor.
C. A judgment upon any such order shall have the same force and effect, and may be entered and docketed, and may be appealed from as if it were a judgment in an original action brought in the court in which the proceeding is pending.
