Fees

Rialto Adjudications does not charge an application fee, nor any fee for an Adjudication Certificate
should one be requested.

Adjudicator’s Fees

Details of the method of costing the adjudication services and arrangements are as follows:
Major Adjudications (Claims Exceeding $100,000.00 (incl GST))
1. The adjudicator’s fees would be calculated as follows:
• Hourly rate between $275.00 and $484.00 per hour (incl GST) depending on the seniority of
the adjudicator nominated.
2. There would be no additional fee for usual para-legal services, secretarial services, electronic
database creation, imaging, photocopying or facsimile charges. In the event that substantial
additional para-legal services, secretarial services, electronic database creation, imaging,
photocopying or facsimiles became necessary, additional fees would be charged only with the
parties’ prior agreement.
Lesser Value Adjudication Claims (Claims/Disputes less than $100,000.00 (incl GST))
The adjudicator will advise the capped fee, generally in accordance with the following scale:

Claim/Dispute amount Fee
$0.00 – $20,000.00 (incl GST) $1,320.00 (incl GST)
$20,001.00 – $50,000.00 (incl GST) $3,850.00 (incl GST)
$50,001.00 – $100,000.00 (incl GST) $5,500.00 (incl GST)

If a Payment Schedule provides a negative scheduled amount that the adjudicator is required to
deal with in the Determination, that amount may be taken into account in calculating if the
Application falls under one of the Lesser Adjudication Claims capped fees.

If there are any changes to any of the information in this page the parties will be advised promptly in
writing.

Rialto Adjudications receives a service fee from adjudicators of 15% of the fee charged to the
parties. This amount is included in the adjudicators fee and is not an additional fee.
