SCHEDULE OF ARBITRATION COSTS (in force as from 1 May 2008)
Court Office Fee
Each party involved in a dispute submitted to CAS arbitration must pay the Court Office a minimum sum of five hundred Swiss francs in order for his application for arbitration or appeal to be registered. The Panel will bear this in mind in the final breakdown of administrative costs.
Administrative costs
The CAS fixes the administrative costs for each case of arbitration subject to Art. R64 of the Code in accordance with the table below, or at its discretion when the amount disputed is not declared or there is no value in dispute. If the circumstances of a given case make this necessary, the CAS may fix administrative costs at an amount above or below that shown on the table below.

Arbitrators' costs and fees
The amount of fees to be paid to each arbitrator is fixed by the Secretary General of the CAS on the basis of the activities reports provided by each arbitrator and on the basis of time reasonably devoted to their task by the members of each Panel. In principle, an hourly fee of CHF 250.-- is taken into account.
If circumstances make this necessary, the President of the Division may decide, upon the proposal of the Secretary General, to fix the amount of the total fee at a sum lower or higher than that which would be calculated on the basis of the hourly rate mentioned above.
The circumstances which may be taken into consideration in case of increase of the fees are the value and the complexity of the dispute.
In addition to the payment of fees, each arbitrator is justified in requesting the reimbursement of his/her costs upon presentation of receipts as follows:
-
Air travel: up to 2500 km per journey: price of an economy class ticket;
-
more than 2500 km: price of a business class ticket;
-
Travel by train: price of a first class return ticket;
-
Travel by car: price of a first class return rail ticket;
-
Hotel accommodation: price of a hotel room, medium to luxury category, up to a maximum of CHF 350 per night.
-
Meals: maximum of CHF 150 per day.
Any telephone, facsimile, postage, photocopying and other secretarial expenses are reimbursed up to a maximum of CHF 200 per arbitrator per case.
