106 c) it is essential to pay reasonable and justified costs and expenses, based on the information submitted by the representatives. The Court must take into account past costs and expenses, as well as those that will be necessary to continue the case before this Court, in all its stages, including compliance with a possible judgment. Pleadings of the representatives of the victim and his next of kin 266. In regards to costs and expenses, the representatives of the victim and his next of kin asked the Court to grant them, at the appropriate procedural stage, the opportunity to submit a document with updated figures. They also requested payment of: a) expenses incurred by Mr. Tibi in the domestic proceeding, regarding professional fees of his defense counsel, photocopies, travel of his attorneys to Guayaquil (transportation, food, lodging) and other procedural costs. In this regard, they pointed out that on November 13, 1995 attorney Nelson Martínez charged Beatrice Baruet US$1,544.00 (one thousand five hundred and forty-four United States dollars). This amount was projected over the twenty-eight months that Mr. Tibi was detained, which explains the total amount of US$30,000.00 (thirty thousand United States dollars). Therefore, they asked the Court to set the amount for costs incurred by Daniel Tibi and his family, taking into account the projection submitted; b) attorney Arthur Vercken’s services in the international proceeding. He was hired by Mr. Tibi to process his case before the Inter-American Commission, and he charged Mr. Tibi US$21,000.00 (twenty-one thousand United States dollars), and the representatives requested reimbursement of this amount; c) Mr. Tibi’s expenses in connection with his appearance before the InterAmerican Commission, adding up to approximately US$3,000.00 (three thousand United States dollars); d) the expenses incurred by the Clínica de Derechos Humanos del PUCE, in the international proceeding, in connection with travel of two persons from Quito to San José, twice, including perdiem for each trip, adding up to US$4,200.00 (four thousand two hundred United States dollars); expenses in connection with phone calls, fax, courier, stationery, etc., adding up to US$2,750.00 (two thousand seven hundred and fifty United States dollars); and professional fees of two attorneys, for 200 hours of work at US$15,00 (fifteen United States dollars) an hour, adding up to US$3,000.00 (three thousand United States dollars). Therefore, the total expenses of the Clínica de Derechos Humanos del PUCE add up to US$9,950.00 (nine thousand nine hundred and fifty United States dollars); and e) expenses incurred by CEJIL, in the international proceeding, in connection with airfare from Washington to San José, and per diem for two persons twice, adding up to US$5,400.00 (five thousand four hundred United States dollars); expenses in connection with phone calls, fax, courier, stationery, etc., adding up to US$3,100.00 (three thousand one hundred United States dollars); and professional fees of two attorneys, for 400 hours
