§ 2505.34.
In an appeal on questions of law and fact, if the judgment of an appellate court is
substantially the same as the final order of an administrative officer, agency, board,
department, tribunal, commission, or other instrumentality, whose final order is the
subject of the appeal, or if such an appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution,
damages may be awarded as follows: (A) If the judgment involves the payment of money other than in a nominal amount, unless
the appellate court is satisfied that there were reasonable grounds for the appeal,
it shall be adjudged that the appellant pay the appellee five per cent on the amount
of that money or, if the court is satisfied that the appeal was for delay merely,
that he pay ten per cent on the amount of that money. (B) In other appeals, including those in which a judgment is for a nominal and [ sic ] amount of money, costs only, or both, unless the court is satisfied that a reasonable
ground existed for the appeal, it shall grant damages to the appellee in any sum considered
reasonable, not exceeding two hundred dollars.
