Fees and Costs contract clause examples

The prevailing Party shall be awarded all reasonable fees and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, expert witness fees and costs and the fees and costs of the arbitrators, incurred in the arbitration and related proceedings. If both Parties are awarded relief, the arbitration panel shall determine the prevailing Party.

The prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable costs of arbitration and legal fees, including reasonable attorney fees, expert witness fees, paralegal fees, the fees of the arbitrator and other reasonable costs and disbursements charged to the party by its counsel, in such amount as is determined by the arbitrator.

The arbitrators may, in their discretion, award to the prevailing party, if any, as determined by the arbitrators, its reasonable costs and fees. Unless the arbitrators decide otherwise, each party shall bear the expense of its own arbitration activities, including its appointed arbitrator and any outside attorney and witness fees. The parties shall jointly bear the expense of the third arbitrator.

The expenses of the arbitration, including, without limitation, the arbitrators’ fees, expert witness fees, and attorney’s fees, may be awarded to the prevailing Party, in the discretion of the arbitrators, or may be apportioned between the Parties in any manner deemed appropriate by the arbitrators. Unless and until the arbitrators decide that one Party is to pay for all (or a share) of such expenses, both Parties shall share equally in the payment of the arbitrators’ fees as and when billed by the arbitrators.

Costs. The “prevailing” Party, as determined by the arbitrators, shall be entitled to # its share of fees and expenses of the arbitrators and # its attorneys’ fees and associated costs and expenses. In determining which Party “prevailed,” the arbitrators shall consider # the significance, including the financial impact, of the claims prevailed upon and # the scope of claims prevailed upon, in comparison to the total scope of the claims at issue. If the arbitrators determine that, given the scope of the arbitration, neither Party “prevailed,” the arbitrators shall order that the Parties # share equally the fees and expenses of the arbitrators and # bear their own attorneys’ fees and associated costs and expenses.

The arbitrators may, in their discretion, award to the prevailing party, if any, as determined by the arbitrators, its reasonable costs and fees. Unless the arbitrators decide otherwise, each party shall bear the expense of its own arbitration activities, including its appointed arbitrator and any outside attorney and witness fees. The parties shall jointly bear the expense of the third arbitrator. The parties agree that the arbitrators shall have no authority to impose any punitive, exemplary or consequential damage awards on either of the parties hereto.

Section #8Costs of Arbitration. The Tribunal may award to the prevailing Party (or Parties) its attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses of the arbitration (including the arbitrators’ fees and expenses) in full or in an appropriate amount.

Attorney’s Fees. In the event of any arbitration or litigation concerning any controversy, claim, or dispute arising out of or relating to this Plan, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party reasonable expenses, attorneys’ fees, and costs incurred in connection therewith or in the enforcement or collection of any judgment or award rendered therein. The “prevailing party” means the party determined by the arbitrator(s) or court, as the case may be, to have most nearly prevailed, even if such party did not prevail in all matters, not necessarily the one in whose favor a judgment is rendered.
