That's not true in my experience. Here's what the JAMS IAR (the arbitration rules applicable here) have to say: > 36.4 The Tribunal will fix the arbitration costs in its award. The Tribunal may apportion such costs among the parties if it determines that such apportionment is reasonable, taking into account the circumstances of the case. https://www.jamsadr.com/international-arbitration-rules/english#Article-36 https://www.jamsadr.com/international-arbitration-rules/engl... In the arbitration case I was a part of, the other side had to pay our costs (which were 7 figures).
