To compare the costs of enforcing claims through arbitration
and through ordinary litigation the following points should be
weighed: Speed of procedure (see International Arbitration Rules,
Articles 2, 16, 17, 18, 49), number of arbitrators (Article 10),

translation and interpretation cost (language free, Article 22),
actual arbitration costs (see the following schedule of arbitration
costs), enforcement costs.
1. Registration Fee
Sfr. 3 000.- (International Arbitration Rules, Article 52).
This blanket fee covers: Expenses and fee to appoint the chairman,
to establish a list of four potential arbitrators, to appoint
substitute arbitrators, to transmit the file to the Arbitral
Tribunal, initial order for directions of the Arbitral Tribunal,
correspondence to the appointment of the Arbitral Tribunal,
possible closing order of the Arbitral Tribunal if advances are not
paid, contribution to the general cost of Zurich Chamber of
Commerce arbitration.
2. Arbitration Fee
Fee for the activity of the Arbitral Tribunal from the initial
order for directions to the force of law of the award or closing
order, and, depending on the case, additional fee of the Zurich
Chamber of Commerce.
2.1 Normally, the arbitration fee is computed on the basis of
the following chart, taking into consideration the responsibility,
the difficulty of the case and the required investment of
time:
Value in litigation
|
Fee of sole arbitrator
|
Fee for three-person Arbitral Tribunal
|
|
up to Sfr. 150 000
|
5%-10%
|
12.5%-25%
|
---
|
150 000 to 300 000
|
3% - 6%
|
7.5%-15%
|
---
|
300 000 to 600 000
|
2%-4%
|
5%-10%
|
---
|
600 000 to 1 300 000
|
1.5%-3%
|
3.75%-7.5%
|
---
|
1 to 4 Mio.
|
1.0%-2%
|
2.5%-5%
|
0.3%
|
4 to 10 Mio.
|
0.75%-1.5%
|
2.25%-4.5%
|
0.2%
|
over 10 Mio.
|
0.5%-1%

1.25%-2.5%
|
0.1%
|
over 50 Mio.
|
0.5%-1%
|
1.25%-2.5%
|
Sfr. 50 000
|
For calculation of the value in dispute, the interest claims
are not considered. Should they be higher than the principal sum,
then they replace the latter in calculating the value in dispute.
Principal claim and counterclaim are added. The value in dispute is
further increased by the amount of set-off defenses of
non-connected claims to be evaluated by the Arbitral Tribunal.
Other currencies are converted into Swiss Francs at the average
exchange rate between the exchange rate when the arbitration was
begun and the exchange rate when the award was rendered.
2.2 The arbitration fee must, however, in all cases be such
that the arbitrators receive an hourly fee of at least Sfr. 200.-
or Sfr. 5.- per Sfr. 1 000 000 of the value in dispute, and at most
Sfr. 500.-. For the hourly fee, the actual time worked on the
arbitration is relevant, plus travelling time that cannot be
charged to other clients of cases.
2.3 The fees are distributed within the Arbitral Tribunal
according to the unanimous decision of the Arbitral Tribunal.
If there is none, the distribution is 40 per cent for the
chairman, and 30 per cent each for the other two arbitrators if
they have cooperated in drafting interim and the final reasoned
award. In all other cases, particularly if the procedure end
without a final reasoned award, 50 per cent for the chairman and 25
per cent each for the other two arbitrators.
3. Arbitrators' Expenses

specifically for: travel (business class, taxi), hotel, meals (in
the home city only if among arbitrators), telephone calls, telefax,
postage, courier service, photostat copies, secretarial services,
use of databanks, court reporters, translators an interpreters,
rental of meeting rooms and simultaneous interpretation
equipment.
3.2 If an arbitrator bears certain cost himself or is charged

by the following lump sums: Meeting rooms Sfr. 500.- per day,
secretariat Sfr. 1000.- per day, photostat copies, including
personnel cost share, Sfr. 1.- per copy, automobile kilometre Sfr.
