Overview

Info fees

The trader must pay the costs of the proceedings, which comprise a remuneration to the ADR body amounting to EUR 25 per every half hour of work commenced, plus EUR 50 for every page of a decision commenced. Travel expenses (allowance per kilometre + parking fees) are charged when proceedings take place, with the agreement of the trader, outside the place of establishment of the ADR body (i.e. Ljubečna). The trader must also pay the costs of providing the evidence (translation, interpreting, witnesses and experts). These costs must, exceptionally, be paid by the consumer if they request an expert opinion that in the opinion of a neutral expert is not necessary.
