ARBITRATION

L1308. Compensation for Arbitrators.

A. Each of the three members of an arbitration panel shall receive compensation in the amount of $200.00 per case for which the member actually serves as an arbitrator, or $100.00 if the arbitrator appears at the date and time of the hearing but no hearing is held because either (1) the matter is settled, withdrawn or otherwise terminated at that time, or (2) was previously settled, withdrawn or otherwise terminated but the arbitrator was not so notified. If the case is settled, withdrawn or otherwise terminated and the arbitrators are so notified prior to the date scheduled for hearing, they shall not be entitled to any fee.

B. A substitute arbitrator who does not serve shall receive $50.00, unless notified prior to the date of the hearing that his or her services will not be needed.

C. Each arbitrator shall be entitled to receive additional compensation at the rate of $50.00 per hour in any case in which the actual time spent in the hearing exceeds three and one-half (3 1/2) hours.

D. Upon the filing of the board's report or award, the prothonotary shall certify to the county controller that the report or award, if any, has been filed, together with the names of the arbitrators and substitute arbitrator to be paid and the amounts to be paid to each. The county shall then pay fees as noted on the prothonotary=s certification. If an arbitrator has previously submitted a properly executed authorization form directing the donation of his or her fee to the Lycoming Law Association Foundation, the prothonotary shall so note on the certification and the county shall submit payment of that attorney’s fee to the Foundation.
