SWITZERLAND Law and Practice Contributed by: Philippe Nordmann, Irène Suter-Sieber, Jonas Knechtli and Gustaf Heintz, Walder Wyss
International Arbitration In international arbitration, employment disputes shall principally be arbitrable without any specific restric - tions. 9.3 Costs In most cases, the general rule applies that proce - dural costs (court fees and costs for professional rep - resentation, if any) are allocated in proportion to the outcome of the case (ratio of prevailing and losing; see 9.1 Litigation for the potential absence of court fees and costs for professional representation in some cases).
Moreover, it is important to note that the potentially reimbursed costs for professional representation do not correspond to the actual costs incurred but are determined based on cantonal tariffs, mainly depend - ing on the amount in dispute and hardly ever matching the effective costs. Subject to a respective (standard) agreement to this effect, any difference must be borne by the client.
