For behandling af voldgiftssager – også forenklet voldgift – skal Voldgiftsnævnet betales et fast gebyr på 4.000 kr. Gebyret dækker udgifter ved sagens oprettelse, og en serviceafgift, der dækker nævnets administration af sagen. Herudover betales honorar til voldgiftsretten.
The service charge is determined based on a fixed percentage of the total value of the case, as outlined in the table in section C of the guidelines for beregning af gebyr og serviceafgift mv. og omkostningsberegneren. Sagens genstand er størrelsen af de nedlagte påstande og kan derfor ændre sig helt frem til hovedforhandlingens start. For beregning af serviceafgiften og honorar benyt venligst omkostningsberegneren nederst på denne side.
The fee must be paid regardless of whether the case is discontinued after a very short period. The full service charge is payable if the case is concluded with a main hearing or decided on a written basis, but a reduction in the service charge is applied if the case is settled or otherwise discontinued before the main hearing.
In cases that are settled or otherwise discontinued or rejected within the first 30 days after the case is initiated, only a fee is payable, and no service charge is due. This is provided that written notification is sent to the Board within 30 days after the submission of the statement of claim. The 30-day deadline can be suspended for up to 6 months if the parties provide written notice that settlement negotiations are ongoing.
A half service charge is only payable in cases that are settled or otherwise discontinued or rejected before receiving the reply. For larger cases, there is the additional advantage that the half service charge can be a maximum of DKK 100,000. If the case is settled after receiving the reply and no later than one week before the main hearing, the service charge will be reduced by 25%. There is no maximum for this amount. However, during a transition period, a maximum of DKK 200,000 applies for cases initiated before April 1, 2021. Thus, if the case is settled, for example, the day before or on the day of the main hearing, the full service charge is payable.
The service charge is a minimum of DKK 7,000.
Honorarer til voldgiftsretten fastsættes på baggrund af de beløb, der fremgår af afsnit B, punkt 2, i vejledningen for beregning af honorarer for voldgiftsdommere m.fl. pr. 1. oktober 2025. Der tages udgangspunkt i det anførte beløb, der både kan nedsættes eller øges afhæng af sagens karakter og omfang, antallet af mødedage og afgørelsens form. Ved forlig udbetales honorar afhængig af tidspunktet for forliget, herunder ift. om der er sket berammelse i sagen. Ved større procesafgørelser afregnes voldgiftretten løbende.
Er sagens genstand på 1.000.000 kr. eller derunder, og består voldgiftsretten alene af én dommer er honoraret som udgangspunkt 35.000 kr. for én dags hovedforhandling.
Expenses for meeting rooms, transportation for the arbitral tribunal, and possible hotel accommodation, etc., should also be anticipated.
If the case involves a claim under DKK 1 million with one arbitrator, vil de samlede udgifter som udgangspunkt kunne holdes inden for det stillede depot på 60.000 kr.
Voldgiftsrettens honorar beregnes med udgangspunkt i vejledningen af 1. oktober 2025.
Omkostningsberegner
In cases with three arbitrators, the claim amount can be entered into the cost calculator, which on the basis of the claim amount can provide an estimate of the total cost of cases. The costs calculated are indicative only, which means that the final costs may be higher or lower depending on how the case develops and other expenses incurred.
The calculator is not accurate for the arbitral tribunal's fees in cases with only one arbitrator, as stated above. The calculator cannot be used in cases with a claim exceeding DKK 500 million.
The Arbitration Board recommends that parties in cases involving claims of less than DKK 500,000 consider whether it would be possible to use an arbitral tribunal with only one arbitrator, as the costs involved in the hearing of the case would otherwise be disproportionately high.
Er sagens genstand under 1.000.000 kr., og består voldgiftsretten alene af én dommer, er honoraret som udgangspunkt 35.000 kr. for én dags hovedforhandling.
In determining the fees, consideration is given to the arbitral tribunal's total workload, including the complexity of the case, the number of meeting days, the value of the case, and the form of the decision.
Leje af mødelokale i nævnets mødelokaler på Vesterbrogade udgør til et stort mødelokale 5.000 kr. for en dag og 2.000 kr. for et lille mødelokale. Aflysning skal ske senest 30 dage før mødet, hvorefter der kræves fuldt lokaleleje, medmindre mødes afholdes en anden dag. Hvis mødet holdes et andet sted, betales efter regning.
A rescheduling fee of DKK 5,000 is payable by the party requesting the rescheduling of the meeting. If the parties agree to the rescheduling, for example due to settlement negotiations, the cost will be shared between the parties. No rescheduling fee will be charged if the rescheduling is due to circumstances related to the arbitral tribunal or the Arbitration Board.
The parties are jointly and severally liable for all payments, but have recourse against the other parties.
Rules regarding security deposit and case costs are found below.
The determination of the costs to the arbitral tribunal can be separately brought before the courts by a party. The Arbitration Board's board of directors supervises the level of the arbitral tribunals' fees.
The guidelines of the calculation of fees and service charges in arbitration cases and a list of the fees and charges of the Arbitration Board can be accessed below.
No fee or charge is payable at the time of submitting the statement of claim. At the start of the case, the Arbitration Board will determine and notify the amount of security to be provided for the costs of the arbitration proceedings, i.e., a deposit. The deposit is to be shared equally among the involved parties. The cited party must also pay the deposit as a party to the case. In the case of a citation where the defendant continues the claim in the form of an indemnity claim, the deposit will be charged to the cited party or parties in relation to the originally submitted payment claim.
As a general rule, DKK 40,000 is charged in cases with only one arbitrator and a claim under DKK 500,000. In cases with a claim exceeding DKK 500,000, the deposit will be determined based on the amount of the claim.
Depotet reguleres løbende. Voldgiftsnævnet lægger ikke ud for parternes udgifter og afventer depotindbetalinger, inden der foretages yderligere.
The parties may not submit a bank guarantee for payment of the costs when a statement of complaint is lodged at the Arbitration Board.
Upon conclusion of the case, the arbitral tribunal will decide how the costs of the case are to be distributed between the parties, after which the Arbitration Board will settle the case. Any excess deposit will be refunded in this regard. Interest accrued on the deposited amount will be retained by the Arbitration Board, and the board will bear any associated expenses.
To ensure quick and correct registration of payments and deposits at the Arbitration Board, the FIK code sent to the parties to the case when the complaint was filed should be used. Some Arbitration Board letters contain codes for both parties, and the names of the parties are clearly stated next to the relevant codes. Please use the correct FIK code. Some IT systems do not support the use of FIK codes, in which case payments can be made to the following account:
Danske Bank, registration number 4180, account number 4180211519
SWIFT: DABADKKK – DKK IBAN: DK5830004180211519
If manual transfers are used, please state the Arbitration Board file number, the names of the parties and the name of the payer.
Unfortunately it is not currently possible to use the EAN system for electronic invoicing, and electronic invoices will be therefore be issued only in response to a special request sent to bogh@voldgift.dk.
The Arbitration Board is not registered for VAT, so all fees and charges are exempt from VAT. If and when the Arbitration Board invoices services on which VAT must be paid – typically expenses related to expert appraisal – the VAT amount will be specified in the settlement letter.
