Adjudication Fees
There are costs
associated with being an Authorised Nominating Authority similar to that of any
commercial enterprise. These costs are off set by charging fees. ANA's are
permitted to charge fees under the Act.
ASC has
recently conducted its own market research and has found that ASC is in the low
fee range out of all ANA's yet is still delivering fair and just outcomes to
both claimants and respondents.
It is the
policy of ASC that no determination will be released until the Adjudicator is
paid the Adjudication fees. Accordingly, once the Adjudicator has made a
decision, ASC will forward a letter to both parties advising each party the
amount of the fees. Once the claimant and/ or the respondent have paid the fees
for the purposes of release the decision will be released to both parties. The
decision will state who is liable purusant to the Act. Therefore, if the
claimant has paid 100% of the fees, but the decision states that the parties are
equally liable, the respondent must reimburse the claimant for their share of
the fees.
