Advance Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs
A party filing claims or a counterclaim or making amendments to his claims or counterclaim should pay the arbitration fees and costs in advance within the time limit specified in the applicable arbitration rules.
If a party requests for a set-off of any claim and such request requires the arbitral tribunal to consider additional matters, the request for set-off shall be regarded as an independent claim in terms of calculating the amount of arbitration fees and costs.
The actual burden of the arbitration fees and other costs of the arbitration commission and arbitral tribunal will be decided by the arbitral tribunal before the end of the hearing.
