At the start of a mediation or conciliation procedure at the Arbitration Board, the parties are charged a fee of DKK 8,000 As of September 1, 2022 including service charge.
In the handling of a mediation or conciliation case, the parties are charged DKK 50,000 as security for the processing of the case, i.e., DKK 8,000 for the Arbitration Board, room rental, and the fee for the mediator or conciliator for a full day's meeting.
The fee is generally 25,000 DKK excluding VAT, i.e. 31,250 DKK including VAT, for a full meeting day, and for a half-day meeting, it is 12,500 DKK excluding VAT, i.e. 15,625 DKK including VAT. The fee covers preparation, including possible participation in a telephone meeting, and participation in the mediation or negotiation meeting itself.
The arbitration board handles the majority of procedural steps, including calling meetings, etc., so that the mediator or negotiator does not have to spend time on these tasks. The amount is shared equally between the parties, unless otherwise agreed. Each party covers its own expenses for any lawyers and advisers. The mediator/negotiator’s expenses for travel, etc., in connection with any inspection/meeting are reimbursed.
If the parties want an additional mediator or conciliator, a supplementary fee of DKK 2,000 will be charged.
Mediation cases are files as P-cases.
Conciliation cases are filed as Q-cases.
