Section 5 Schedule of Fees

Section 5 Schedule of Fees

Our fees include clerical and other ordinary office services, such as typing and faxing, but exclude specialty printing or other services. The Mediators do their own clerical work as part of their communicating via letter and email, and report drafting and editing functions. Travel expenses for the mediators (hotels, meals, transportation) and facilities charges are extra.

Hourly fee rates:

Morley McKeachie $350 per hour Ray Young, Q.C. $350 per hour

Travel time: 50% of the above hourly rates.

Travel expenses: as incurred, to be reasonable and at market rates according to the venue.

Sharing of fees and expenses:

We propose that the parties agree to share the fees and expenses equally among them, unless otherwise agreed through the mediation. However, the Local Government Act, s. 439(6) provides:

Unless otherwise agreed by these parties, the fees of any neutral person participating in the non-binding resolution process and the administrative costs of the process, other than the costs incurred by the parties participating in the process, are to be shared proportionally between the proposing board and the affected local governments that participate in the process on the basis of the converted value of land and improvements in their jurisdictions.
