The CAIP Commission ensures the application of the CAIP Arbitration Rules and acts, in accordance therewith, whenever called upon, for example, to appoint and confirm arbitrators, rule on challenges to arbitrators, and decide whether to consolidate arbitrations.
As an autonomous and independent body, the Commission carries out its functions in complete independence from the CAIP and its organs.

Costs
The opening fee is set at 3,000 euros (without tax), regardless of the amount in dispute and the procedure implemented.
The arbitration fees, comprising the administrative fees and the arbitrators’ fees, are calculated on the basis of the amount in dispute, which is determined following the guidelines provided in Annex 1 of the CAIP Arbitration Rules, thus ensuring full transparency and predictability.
Each party is responsible for advancing the arbitration fees corresponding to its own claim or counterclaim, which allows for arbitration to take place even against an insolvent or uncooperative party.
The costs of the proceedings are finally fixed by the arbitral tribunal and may thus comprise any other fees and expenses incurred for the arbitration, such as those with experts and counsel.
The unsuccessful party fully bears the costs of the proceeding, unless otherwise decided by the arbitral tribunal.
