DETAILS OF COSTS
- The submission of the request for arbitration gives rise to the payment of registration fees.
- The calculation of the cost of arbitration is made taking into account the economic interest of the claims of the parties and includes the fees of the arbitrator and the administration fees of the Barcelona Arbitration Court.
- A change in the amount of the claims shall give rise to a change in the cost, according to the calculation provided by the Secretariat.
- The cost of the arbitration shall be distributed equally between the claimant and defendant parties. However, either party may satisfy the payment not satisfied by the corresponding party, recognising, where appropriate, the right to reimbursement in the award. All this is without prejudice to the arbitrator’s decision on costs.
- Provision of funds for expenses. In addition, a provision of funds shall be deposited to cover the expenses and advances arising from the processing of the procedure. This provision includes communications, notifications, digital media and other processing expenses, and does not include expenses that may be incurred by the parties and arbitrators arising from expert evidence, reprography and others.
- In proceedings of an undetermined amount, the cost of arbitration will be 17,000€ (plus VAT), without prejudice to the subsequent determination of the amount of the proceedings.
- In the event that an arbitration panel is appointed, the rate applicable to the arbitration will be doubled, without this initially implying an increase in the provision of funds for expenses.
- The counterclaim, explicit or implicit, will accrue a new application of costs subject to the same rules as the main claim. For the counterclaim to be admitted for processing, its cost must have been paid.
- The TAB may continue to administer the arbitration, even if the requested provisions of funds have not been completed, in cases where either party offers sufficient guarantee of commitment to pay, in the opinion of the TAB, to cover the unpaid sums.
- Interim and precautionary measures proceedings will accrue new admission fees and those administration fees determined by the TAB depending on the circumstances of the case.
- Emergency arbitrator: the applicant for the measure must pay the sum of 9,000€ (plus VAT) to cover the administration fees and expenses and the fees and expenses of the emergency arbitrator.
- The arbitration routing service offered to parties who (a) do not have a TAB arbitration clause, (b) want to novate the agreed arbitration agreement, has a cost of 150.00€.
- The MASC [ADR] Service for accreditation of fulfilment of the requirement of admissibility as demanded by Organic Law 1/2025 has a cost of 150.00€ for the services of negotiation and confidential binding offer. A registration fee of 450.00€ applies to the independent expert service, to which the TAB administration fee will have to be added, with a reduction of between 20% and 50% depending on the circumstances of the case.
