What is the total cost of an ADR Dispute?

Has anyone got any figures (even approximate ones) on the total cost of a successful ADR?

I’m working on the basis that you would need to include:

- domain registry costs
- ADR process costs
- legal advice
- research (could be included with above or separate)
- time

Any input would be welcome

court fee 1700 EUR + legal fees 750 EUR + tranlsations c.a. 100 EUR = EUR 2550 in total
Time c.a. – 5 months

Thanks for that.

Your costs on translation and legal costs seem very low. How many pages were you getting translated?

Michelle,
Usually it is enough to translate 10 pages : 6-7 pages of a complaint and 4-5 pages of attachments (mostly trademark certificates). In Poland where our company is based the translations are not expensive as well as the legal services.

It would be a lot more expensive in Ireland
