Who pays the arbitrator's fees in Israeli arbitration?

Initially, both parties share the arbitrator's fees equally — each contributes to an advance deposit at the start. At the end of the case, the tribunal allocates total costs in the award. The general principle under Israeli practice (mirroring civil litigation) is that costs follow the event: the losing party is ordered to reimburse a substantial portion of the winning party's costs, including tribunal fees and a contribution toward legal costs. Full indemnification is uncommon; tribunals typically award 50–80% of reasonable costs.
