With regard to arbitrators' fees, the determination of the fee due to each arbitrator must be carried out by applying the parameters set out in Table No. 26 annexed to Ministerial Decree No. 55/2014, as updated by Ministerial Decree No. 147/2022, based on the value of the dispute, without there being any grounds to increase the tabular parameter where the value of the arbitration is closer to the minimum than to the maximum of the relevant bracket and the issues addressed do not present particular complexity.
Reimbursement of general overheads on a flat-rate basis is not due to arbitrators in arbitration proceedings, given that Article 814 of the Code of Civil Procedure recognises the right to reimbursement with exclusive reference to so-called "out-of-pocket expenses", that is, those actually incurred and capable of being documented, without the principles relating to professional legal fees as regards flat-rate expenses being applicable, given that the arbitrator is not absolutely equivalent to a legal practitioner in relation to the particular nature of the work respectively performed.
