An arbitration under the ADCCAC 2013 Procedural Regulations of Arbitration (the 2013 Regulations) is commenced by a Request for Arbitration (the Request)

The costs of the arbitration to cover the Centre's fees and those of the Panel (the ADCCAC term for the tribunal) are to be paid to the Centre at the outset of the arbitration

Parties must of course remember that in addition to the costs and fees of the Panel and the Centre, they are most likely to incur their own legal fees and, if unsuccessful, may be ordered to pay some or all of their opponent's costs (to include their legal fees and sums paid to the Centre for administration and Panel costs).

Fees should be paid by cheque, local bankers' draft/manager's cheque or telegraphic transfer
