How are the costs of securities arbitration disputes divided?

The costs of securities arbitration disputes vary depending on a few different factors. In Kansas, the costs are generally divided by the parties involved in the dispute. Generally, the party bringing the dispute is responsible for the filing fee, and the party defending the dispute is responsible for the costs of an arbitrator. Both parties are also responsible for covering the cost of any witnesses, depositions, or other costs related to the dispute. Usually, these costs are divided equally between the two parties, regardless of who wins the dispute. In addition, both parties are responsible for their attorney’s fees. This means that if one party hires an attorney, they are responsible for paying their attorney’s fees and the other party is responsible for paying their attorney’s fees. The arbitrator can also decide to award costs to one of the parties. This means that the party who wins the dispute can be awarded costs that are paid for by the party who lost the dispute. The arbitrator will decide who is responsible for each cost and must consider evidence from both parties. If the arbitrator decides that one party should pay, the party responsible for the costs must pay them within a reasonable amount of time. Ultimately, the costs of a securities arbitration dispute are divided between the two parties, and the arbitrator may award costs to one party in certain circumstances. It is important to be aware of these cost divisions and to discuss them with an attorney prior to filing a securities arbitration claim.
