Furthermore, the Court observes that representative Trejos presented expense vouchers for US$1,376.96. 519 With his final arguments, representative May provided invoices corresponding to five affidavits for a total of US$2,500.00 dollars, without indicating why the cost of each notarial service had been calculated at US$500.00. In addition, in his final arguments, representative May requested the same amount that representative Trejos had asked for in his pleadings and motions brief, without clarifying whether these were two autonomous requests, or else, which part of the latter request corresponded to fees for Mr. Trejos and which part to fees for Mr. May.

The Court observes that the case file does not contain any supporting evidence to justify the sums that the representatives are requesting for professional fees and services. Indeed, the amounts requested for fees were not accompanied by specific proof of their reasonableness and scope. 521 373.
