R.I. Gen. Laws § 42-7.4-9
Appeals from administrative orders or decisions made pursuant to any provisions of this chapter shall be pursued pursuant to chapter 35 of title 42. The right to appeal under this section shall be expressly made conditional upon prepayment of all contribution, interest, and penalties unless the insurer demonstrates to the satisfaction of the court that the insurer has a reasonable probability of success on the merits and is unable to prepay all contribution, interest, and penalties, considering not only the insurer's own financial resources but also the ability of the insurer to borrow the required funds. If the court, after appeal, holds that the insurer is entitled to a refund, the insurer shall also be paid interest on the amount at the rate provided in § 44-1-7.1 of the Rhode Island general laws, as amended.
