Awarding Costs in Arbitration

Presented by the CBA Alberta Alternative Dispute Resolution South Section

On Demand. Originally presented on March 5, 2025.

Please join us in welcoming the Hon. Neil Wittmann, K.C., presenting on his recently published article in the ADR Perspectives newsletter, Vol. 11, No. 4, titled “Awarding Costs in Arbitration”. In domestic arbitrations in Canada, statutes or an arbitration agreement may confer jurisdiction on a tribunal to award costs in favour of a party. Where an arbitration agreement states that the tribunal may award costs without more, the domestic legislation in the provinces differs regarding the general manner in which costs are to be awarded. This presentation will explore the different statutory regimes regarding costs in arbitrations, as well as recent authorities on the general basis for cost awards.

SPEAKER

Honourable Neil Wittmann K.C. (Western Arbitration Chambers)
