39 137. The Tribunal has indicated that, “the claims of the victims or their representatives as to costs and expenses and the supporting evidence must be offered to the Court at the first procedural occasion granted to them, that is, in the brief of requests and motions, without prejudice to the fact that such claim may be later on updated, according to new costs and expenses incurred during the processing of the case before this Court.”118 In regard to the reimbursement of costs and expenses, it is the Tribunal’s responsibility to prudently estimate its extent. This includes expenses incurred before domestic authorities, as well as those incurred during the course of this proceeding before the inter-American system, taking into account the circumstances of the specific case and the nature of international human rights protection jurisdiction. This estimate may be made based on the principle of equity and in consideration of the expenses reported by the parties, provided the amount be reasonable.119 138. In this case, the Tribunal observes that the representative did not submit receipts establishing the amount of the expenses that he and the victims had to incur during the processing of this case. For this reason, based on the provisions of Article 58(b) of the Rules of Procedure, the representative was ordered to submit a list of costs and expenses along with corresponding supporting documentation by the non-extendible deadline of January 28, 2011.120 That information was not received. 121 139. Nevertheless, the Tribunal can infer that the representative incurred expenses to attend the public hearing in the case (supra para. 12), as well as expenses related to the exercise of legal representation, such as the submission of briefs and communications expenses, among others, during the proceeding before this Court. It is also reasonable to assume that during the years in which the case was before the Commission, the victims and the representative incurred expenses. Taking this into account and given the lack of receipts demonstrating these expenses, the Court establishes, in equity, that the State must pay the total amount of US$ 15,000.00 (fifteen thousand dollars of the United States of America) or its equivalent in Peruvian currency for costs and expenses incurred in the litigation of this case. That sum must be paid by the State to the representative, and the representative will distribute it as needed. The sum includes future expenses that could be incurred domestically or during the monitoring of compliance with this Judgment. E. Method of compliance with the payments ordered 140. The State shall pay the indemnities for pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages directly to the beneficiaries and the payment for costs and expenses directly the the representatives within one year from the notification of this Judgment and according to the terms of the following clauses. 141. In the event that a beneficiary passes away before the corresponding compensation is paid, the compensation shall be paid directly to his or her heir in keeping with applicable domestic law. 118 Cf.
