motions brief, even though these claims may be subsequently updated, in line with any new costs and expenses incurred as a result of the proceedings.486 Regarding the reimbursement of costs and expenses, the Court must prudently assess their scope, which includes the expenses incurred before the domestic jurisdiction, as well as those arising during the proceedings before the inter-American system, taking into account the circumstances of the specific case and the nature of the international jurisdiction for the protection of human rights. This assessment can be made based on the principle of equity and taking into account the expenses indicated by the parties, provided their quantum is reasonable.487 324. In this case, the Court notes that there is no precise evidence in the case file with regard to the costs and expenses incurred by Danilo Furlan in relation to the domestic judicial proceedings and the processing of the case before the Commission. However, the Court finds that these proceedings necessarily involved financial outlays. 325. In addition, the Court notes that the expenses incurred by Danilo Furlan before judicial authorities and other State institutions in Argentina have already been taken into account in determining the compensation for pecuniary damages (supra para. 316). Bearing in mind the arguments presented by the representatives, as well as the factual circumstances of the case and the personal situation of Danilo Furlan, the Court determines, in equity, that the State must pay the sum of US$ 3,500 (three thousand five hundred dollars of the United States of America) to Danilo Furlan, for costs and expenses related to the processing of the case before the Commission. This amount must be paid within one year of notification of this Judgment. The Court further clarifies that, during the proceedings on monitoring compliance with this Judgment, the Court may order the State to reimburse the victim or his representatives the reasonable expenses incurred at that procedural stage.
