1. ““Article 863 is intended only for exceptional circumstances and' is not to be used 'simply’because parties disagree as to the correct resolution of a legal matter. Fairchild v. Fairchild, 580 So.2d 513, 517 (La.App. 4 Cir.1991). On appellate review, a trial court’s finding as'to a sanctionable violation of C.C.P. art. 863 may not be disturbed unless the record furnishes no evidence to support the finding, or the finding is clearly wrong. Id., Loyola v. A Touch of Class Transp. Service, Inc., 580 So.2d 506 (La.App. 4 Cir.1991). Green v. Wal-Mart Store No. 1163, 96-1124, (La.App. 4 Cir. 10/17/96), 684 So.2d 966, 969 .””
