“Costs and Fees”, International Arbitration in Portugal, André Pereira da Fonseca et al. eds., Wolters Kluwer, 2020

How much is this going to cost me? This is the first question one asks when thinking about initiating an arbitration. The article “Costs and Fees” endeavours to answer that question regarding the Portuguese arbitration practice and legal framework. The article addresses the costs in ad hoc arbitration, as well as in the most relevant Portuguese arbitral institution, the recoverability of those costs and the different criteria that may be used to decide upon that issue.
