1. ““Our Supreme Court has held that such a discretionary award of damages is proper where an appeal is frivolous, or without substance or merit. Marks v. Bremmer (1917), 186 Ind. 434 , 116 N.E. 738 ; Bradford Homes, Inc. v. Long (1942), 221 Ind. 309 , 47 N.E.2d 609 ; Kroeger Laundry & Dry Cleaners, Inc. v. Williams (1942), 221 Ind. 299 , 47 N.E.2d 612 . Likewise, this court held in Vandalia R. Co. v. Walsh (1909), 44 Ind.App. 297 , 89 N.E. 320 , that when an appeal is taken only to harass or delay the appellee, ‘thus presenting an illustration of vexatious litigation, that crowds our courts to the detriment of meritorious actions, and which should not go unrebuked,’ a penalty of ten per cent will be assessed against the appellant.””
