  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations establish arbitration schemes for the determination of disputes with respect to claims relating to coal mining subsidence.\nThe Regulations establish a Householders' Arbitration Scheme for claims in respect of dwellings and a General Arbitration Scheme for use in other cases or where the Householders' Scheme is inappropriate. The costs of arbitrations under the Householders' Arbitration Scheme, other than registration fees, are to be met by the respondent. Costs under the General Arbitration Scheme are to be met by the parties in accordance with the arbitrator’s (or, in Scotland, the arbiter's) award.\nThe Regulations provide for an Arbitration Body to be appointed by the Secretary of State to administer the Schemes and for its costs to be recovered from persons with responsibility for subsidence damage.",
