THE FEE IS BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF THE CLAIM AS SHOWN ABOVE.
NON-REFUNDABLE FILING FEES ARE REQUIRED WHEN FILING A COMPLAINT IN ARBITRATION
If the non-refundable filing fee is not enclosed, the complaint will be deemed NOT filed.
Respondent is responsible for submitting a matching non-refundable filing fee with or prior to the filing of their Answer or Objection to a Complaint with OAH.
Also note that when a complaint is amended to increase the amount claimed, if appropriate, an additional amount for the filing fee will be collected. There will be no refund of fees if the amount claimed is reduced, because filing fees are nonrefundable.
Additionally, a filing fee and matching fee will be required on all cross complaints in accordance with the above fee schedule.
The reasons for filing fee increases in the million dollar claims are that there has been no increase in filing fees since prior to 1989. It is necessary to increase the fees at this time, since OAH is not recovering administrative costs on these cases. Because the number and dollar amounts of cases filed varies each year, it is difficult to anticipate exactly what fee increases will permit OAH to recover its costs. However, increasing the fees on multi-million dollar cases may permit OAH to recoup its costs, since increasing numbers of multi-million dollar cases have been filed in recent years.
