24. Can we claim costs from the other party, as part of the settlement?

Yes. Each party in an ADR process normally agrees to pay its own share of the costs of the ADR process itself (see question 23), but the costs incurred in dealing with the dispute more generally will normally be allocated between the parties as part of any settlement achieved.
