Section 19

If the parties and the adjudicator fail to agree on the terms of appointment and the fees of the adjudicator, the KLRCA’s standard terms of appointment and fees for adjudicators shall apply.

The parties to the adjudication are jointly and severally liable to pay the adjudicator’s fees and expenses and the adjudicator may recover the fees and expenses due as a debt.

The parties shall contribute and deposit with the Director of the KLRCA a reasonable proportion of the fees in equal share as directed by the adjudicator in advance as security.

Before releasing the adjudication decision to the parties, the adjudicator may require full payment of the fees and expenses to be deposited with the Director of the KLRCA.

An adjudicator is not entitled to any fees or expenses relating to the adjudication if the adjudicator fails to decide the dispute within the period specified under subsection 12(2) except when the delay in the delivery of the decision is due to the failure of the parties to deposit the full payment of the adjudicator’s fees and expenses with the Director of the KLRCA under subsection (5).
