*Fee includes 7% GST.

2. Emergency Arbitrator’s Fees: The Emergency Arbitrator’s fees shall be capped at 20% of a sole arbitrator’s maximum fees calculated in accordance with the Schedule of Fees in force at the time of commencement of the arbitration. A deposit will be required from the applicant to cover the Emergency Arbitrator’s fees and expenses shortly after the application is made.


Assessment or Taxation Fees
At the end of an arbitration, or after an issue has been decided in the course of the arbitration, the arbitrator usually makes an order for the legal cost incurred by a party (or a part of the legal cost) to be paid by the other party. The arbitrator usually fixes the amount of the cost to be paid.

SIAC prefers that the arbitrator does so. But if he or she does not do so, and the parties cannot agree on the amount, the Registrar of SIAC may be asked to assess the amount for the parties. This process is sometimes called "taxation" of costs. The party that requires the Registrar's services pays a fee according to the amount of costs claimed.

Up to 50,000 1,000
50,001 - 100,000 1,000 + 2% of excess over 50,000
