ODR discount — 50% admin, 25% off neutral fees

When a matter is conducted as ODR (online dispute resolution), the administrative fee is reduced by 50% and the tribunal or mediator fee is reduced by 25%. This applies to both arbitration and mediation. Fixed-fee tracks (Streamlined, MSME) are excluded as their fees are already all-in.

Parties who first attempt FEAM mediation on the same dispute receive a 10% reduction in arbitration administrative fees.

Schedule I; ODR discounts confirmed by FEAM secretariat. Fourth Schedule rates (Section 11(14), A&C Act 1996) met or exceeded.
