Lincoln County Supplementary Local Rules (2026) · physical PDF page 34–35 · 2026

13.135  Payment of Arbitrator’s Fee
 The term “preliminary payment” as used in UTCR 13.120 shall be defined as the full
amount of the arbitration fee then in effect as established by the Arbitration
Commission.
 In the event a party does not pay its pro-rata share of the arbitrator’s “preliminary
payment” or obtain a waiver or deferral for payment under ORS 36.420(3), the
arbitrator may, in addition to precluding that party’s appearance or participation in
the arbitration proceeding in cases subject to ORS 36.400(4);
 Immediately enter an arbitration award in favor of a party who has paid the
party’s respective pro-rata share;
 Enter an award dismissing the case for want of payment;
 Enter such other award and take such other action as may be just and equitable
under the circumstances.
 In the event one party pays its pro-rata share of the preliminary payment and the
other party does not, the arbitrator shall be entitled to retain all payments received by
the arbitrator in order to fully compensate the arbitrator for the arbitrator’s time
involved in making an award or otherwise disposing of the case.
