Description: 

Originally from: Arbitration Law of Russia: Practice and Procedure

The Arbitration Act does not regulate in detail the issue of the arbitration's costs. This issue is usually governed by the rules of institutional arbitrations and/or by the agreement of the parties and arbitrators.

For ICAC proceedings it is governed, inter alia, by the schedule of arbitration fees and costs annexed to the ICAC Rules (ICAC Costs Schedule). For MAC proceedings it is governed by a separate schedule (MAC Costs Schedule).

Usually, costs in the context of arbitration are divided into two broad categories: arbitration fees and legal costs. These categories are dealt with below in turn.

Unless the parties agree otherwise,1 the arbitral tribunal must award costs on the general principle that costs follow the event, i.e. that the successful party will be entitled to its costs subject to the caveats described below.

18.1. COSTS OF ADMINISTRATION BY AN ARBITRATION INSTITUTION

Again, costs of administration by an arbitration institution are not governed by the Arbitration Act but by the institution's rules. According to Section 3(5) of the ICAC Costs Schedule: 

“Fees due to the arbitrators, reporters, the ICAC President, and members of the ICAC Presidium will be paid out of the arbitrator’s fee and will be fixed in accordance with the Schedule of Fees and Costs of the International Commercial Arbitration Court at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation.”
