Section 9:2163 - RemediesIf a court determines that a trustee has abused his discretion in making or failing to make an adjustment under R.S. 9:2158, the court shall restore the beneficiaries to the positions they would have occupied if the trustee had not abused his discretion, according to the following rules:
(1) When the abuse of discretion has resulted in no distribution to a beneficiary or a distribution that is too small, the court shall require the trustee to distribute from the trust to the beneficiary an amount that the court determines will restore the beneficiary to an appropriate economic position.(2) When the abuse of discretion has resulted in a distribution to a beneficiary that is too large, the court shall require the trustee to withhold an amount from one or more future distributions to the beneficiary or require the beneficiary to return some or all of the distribution to the trust.(3) When the court is unable, by means of Paragraphs (1) and (2), to restore the beneficiaries, the trust, or both to the positions they would have occupied if the trustee had not abused his discretion, the court may require the trustee to pay an appropriate amount from his own funds to one or more of the beneficiaries or the trust or both.
