312. For their part, the representatives asked that the Court order payment for Mr. González Medina’s loss of income, taking into consideration that, at the time of his disappearance: (a) “he probably had another 19 years of life before him,” according to life expectancy in the Dominican Republic; (b) he was a UASD professor, and (c) in addition, “he carried out a series of other professional activities that […] increased his annual income considerably.” In this regard, the representatives provided a table, without vouchers, where they calculated the income that Mr. González Medina had failed to receive between 1995 and 2010, as US$178,745.09 (one hundred and seventy-eight thousand seven hundred and forty-five United States dollars and nine cents). 340 Regarding the additional income, the representatives indicated that “they could not include an exact calculation.” Furthermore, as consequential damage, the representatives asked the Court to order the corresponding amount, in equity, taking into account “the harm and prejudice to personal wealth” suffered by Narciso González Medina’s family in their search for justice, as well as the medical expenses they have had to incur as a result of the disappearance. 313. Regarding the income that Mr. González Medina failed to receive, the Court observes that the representatives did not provide evidence that would allow the Court to verify the amount indicated as corresponding to his salary in 1994, based on which they made the calculations that they submitted to this Court.

This amount must be paid within one year of notification of this Judgment. 314. Regarding consequential damage, the Court notes that, according to the expert medical opinion of Secundino Palacios Carpio, the González Ramírez family has been undergoing medical treatment for approximately 17 years. In addition, Jennie Rosanna González Ramírez, Rhina Yokasta González Ramírez and Luz Altagracia Ramírez have had to be hospitalized as a result of the psychological ailments they have suffered as a result of Mr. González Medina’s disappearance, and they have also been on medication. 342 In addition, the Court considers that the actions and measures taken by Mr. González Medina’s family to find him gave rise to expenses that must be considered as circumstantial damage. Consequently, the Court establishes, in equity, the sum of US$20,000.00 (twenty thousand United States dollars) for circumstantial damage, which must be given to Luz Altagracia Ramírez so that she may distribute it as appropriate, according to the expenses that were assumed by her children.
