An order of reference should be served on arbitrators, whether they are present in the Court or not and even when they are present in Court and express their willingness to act as such. In all these cases process fee should be charged for serving an order of reference on arbitrators. Where, however, a party is permitted to serve the copy of an order of reference on the arbitrator half the usual process fee should be charged.
