Conn. Gen. Stat. § 38a-52

Current with legislation from 2024 effective through June 5, 2024.
Section 38a-52 - (Formerly Sec. 38-54). Appeal from assessment

Any (1) domestic insurance company or other domestic entity aggrieved because of any assessment levied under section 38a-48, (2) fraternal benefit society or foreign or alien insurance company or other entity aggrieved because of any assessment levied under the provisions of sections 38a-49 to 38a-51, inclusive, or (3) domestic insurer, domestic health care center, third-party administrator licensed pursuant to section 38a-720a or exempt insurer, as defined in subdivision (1) of subsection (b) of section 19a-7j, aggrieved because of any assessment levied under said section 19a-7j, may, within one month from the time provided for the payment of such assessment, appeal therefrom to the superior court for the judicial district of New Britain, which appeal shall be accompanied by a citation to the commissioner to appear before said court. Such citation shall be signed by the same authority, and such appeal shall be returnable at the same time and served and returned in the same manner, as is required in case of a summons in a civil action. The authority issuing the citation shall take from the appellant a bond or recognizance to the state, with surety to prosecute the appeal to effect and to comply with the orders and decrees of the court in the premises. Such appeals shall be preferred cases, to be heard, unless cause appears to the contrary, at the first session, by the court or by a committee appointed by the court. Said court may grant such relief as may be equitable, and, if such assessment has been paid prior to the granting of such relief, may order the Treasurer to pay the amount of such relief, with interest at the rate of six per cent per annum, to the aggrieved company. If the appeal has been taken without probable cause, the court may tax double or triple costs, as the case demands; and, upon all such appeals which may be denied, costs may be taxed against the appellant at the discretion of the court, but no costs shall be taxed against the state.
