Tenn. R. Sup. Ct., 8
As amended through November 4, 2024
The costs of any Rule 31A ADR Proceeding, including the costs of the services of a Rule 31A Neutral may, at the request of the Rule 31A Neutral, be charged as court costs. The request to charge the costs of the services of the Rule 31A Neutral(s) should be submitted to the Court by filing same with the clerk of the court. If the parties appeal to the appellate court(s), the parties shall advise the appellate court in their briefs whether the Rule 31A Neutral(s) requested that the cost of the Rule 31A Neutral's services be included in the court costs.
The Court may, in its sound discretion, waive or reduce the costs of a Rule 31A ADR Proceeding.
