Upon application to the board of governors, and approval by the Presiding Justice of the Appellate Division in the judicial department where the arbitral program is established, an arbitral body may require payment by the parties of a filing fee. The filing fee shall be reasonably related to the cost of providing the service and shall not be in such an amount as to discourage use of the program.
