The arbitral award and costs

How are costs usually
allocated?

Arbitrators can allocate costs in a number
of different ways. The survey shows that
tribunals allocate costs according to the result
in a significant majority of arbitrations (80%),
on the basis of either ‘costs follow the event’
(i.e., the unsuccessful party pays all) (50%) or
‘apportionment of costs by the tribunal’ (30%).
In only 20% of arbitrations do tribunals not
allocate costs according to the result, instead
leaving parties ‘to bear their own costs and
half the arbitration costs’.
