A. On the return day of the order to show cause provided for in Section 740 [59A-41-48 NMSA 1978] of this article if the member or subscriber does not appear and serve verified objections upon the superintendent, 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 ($10) costs, and that the superintendent 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 superintendent 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 or affirming his liability to pay the whole or some part thereof together with twenty-five dollars ($25) costs and the necessary disbursements incurred at such hearing, and directing that the superintendent 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.
