Costs

 

 

The costs payable to SGOA comprise a number of components. Both parties involved in a case are liable for administration charges (there is one exception – see the rules of procedure for arbitration).

All of SGOA’s services are subject to VAT. Cases will only be dealt with once the charges and advance payment due have been paid. The costs of a party’s own lawyer or other experts will have to be borne by the individual party in question unless the parties have agreed otherwise or other arrangements are made in a ruling. More information about the costs can be found in the rules of procedure.
