50 case in both the domestic and the international jurisdiction have been recognized,” and therefore asked the Court to reject these claims. 192. Regarding the reimbursement of costs and expenses, the Court has indicated that it must prudently assess their scope, which includes the expenses generated before the authorities of the domestic jurisdiction as well as those arising during the proceedings before the inter-American system, bearing in mind the circumstances of the specific case and the nature of the international jurisdiction for the protection of human rights. This assessment may be carried out based on equity and taking into account the expenses indicated by the parties, provided that their quantum is reasonable.161 193. In the instant case, the representatives have not provided the Court with sufficient evidence to support their claims for costs and expenses. Moreover, regarding the assessment of this amount, the Court is not subject to the provisions of the domestic laws of the States. Accordingly, the estimate submitted by the representatives is not appropriate and the amount is not reasonable. 194. Based on the above, and taking into account how long the processing of the proceedings against Mr. Bayarri has taken, as well as the delays in the ongoing case in which he is the complainant, the Court finds, in equity, that the State must pay the sum of US$50,000.00 (fifty thousand United States dollars) to Mr. Bayarri, who will deliver the amount he considers appropriate to his representatives to compensate for the costs and expenses incurred before the authorities of the domestic jurisdiction, as well as those arising during the proceedings before the inter-American system. This amount includes any future expenses that Mr. Bayarri may incur at the domestic level and during monitoring compliance with this judgment. The State must make the payment for costs and expenses within one year of notification of this judgment. F) Means of complying with the payments ordered 195. The payment of compensation established in favor of Juan Carlos Bayarri shall be made directly to him. The same applies to the reimbursement of costs and expenses. If he should die before the respective compensation has been delivered to him, the compensation shall be delivered to his heirs, in accordance with the applicable domestic law. 196. The State shall comply with its obligation by payment in United States dollars or the equivalent amount in Argentine currency, using the exchange rate between the two currencies in force on the market of New York, United States of America, on the day preceding the payment. 197. If, for causes that can be attributed to the beneficiary of the compensation or to his heirs, they are unable to receive it within the specified time, the State shall deposit the said amounts in an account or a deposit certificate in their favor in an Argentine financial institution, in United States dollars, and in the most favorable financial conditions allowed by banking practice and law. If, after 10 years, the compensation has not been claimed, the amounts shall be returned to the State with the accrued interest. 161 Cf. Juan Humberto Sánchez v. Honduras.
