B. Transcription. A party may request in writing to the Arbitration Administrator that a verbatim record of all or part of the hearing be made and transcribed. This request shall be received not later than 5 days before the scheduled hearing, and shall include an agreement to pay all costs of transcription. The Arbitration Administrator may require these costs to be advanced by the requesting party.
