It should be noted that the method used by the representatives to calculate the compensation for the 10 remaining judges is the same as that used for the other 17 judges, in other words, taking a monthly average of each judge’s income multiplied by the number of months during which they were not paid, up until November 2011, which is 83 months. The difference in the amounts lies mainly in the fact not all the judges received the same salary and that some had larger seniority premiums. 246. Based on the foregoing, the Court emphasizes that the amounts calculated by the representatives differ from those shown in the “Certificates of Settlement.” Furthermore, the Court takes into account that the representatives made the calculation up to 2011 and this Court has already established that said calculation shall be made up until October 20, 2008 (supra para. 239). The Court also understands that the amount requested by the representatives is based on the total income that the judges would have earned up to November 2011, based on the last salary they each received in 2004, without taking into account expenditures, such as personal contributions to the IESS, income tax and any adjustments for payroll contributions to the IESS, which could have occurred during the unremunerated years. For its part, the Certificate of Settlement takes into account the 267 Cf. Brief of pleadings and motions (Merits file, volume I, page 236). 268 Cf.
