case, which amounted to US$2,725.17 (two thousand seven hundred and twenty-five United States dollars and seventeen cents), and granted it until June 15, 2014, to present any observations it deemed pertinent on this information. However, Venezuela did not present any observations in this regard. In application of article 5 of the Rules for the Operation of the Fund, the Court must assess whether it is appropriate to order the defendant State to reimburse the disbursement incurred to the Legal Assistance Fund. 332. In view of the violations declared in this Judgment, the Court orders the State to reimburse the sum of US$2,725.17 (two thousand seven hundred and twenty-five United States dollars and seventeen cents) to the Fund for the expenditure incurred. This amount must be reimbursed to the Inter-American Court within ninety days of notification of this Judgment. G. Method of complying with the payments ordered 333. The State shall pay the compensation for pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage and to reimburse costs and expenses established in this Judgment directly to the persons indicated herein, within one year of notification of this Judgment, in accordance with the following paragraphs. 334. If any of the beneficiaries should die before they receive the respective compensation, this shall be delivered directly to their heirs, pursuant to the applicable domestic law. 335. The State must comply with its obligation by payment in United States dollars or Venezuelan currency, using the exchange rate between these two currencies in force on the New York Stock Exchange (United States of America), the day before the payment to make the respective calculation. 336. If, for reasons that can be attributed to the beneficiaries of the compensation, they are unable to receive it within the indicated time frame, the State shall deposit the said amounts in their favor in an account or certificate of deposit in a Venezuelan financial institution, in United States dollars and in the most favorable financial conditions allowed by banking law and practice in Venezuela. If, after 10 years, the compensation has not been claimed, the amounts shall be returned to the State with the interest accrued. 337. The amounts allocated in this Judgment as compensation shall be delivered to the persons indicated in full, as established in this Judgment, without any deductions arising from possible taxes or charges. 338. If the State should fall in arrears, it shall pay interest on the amount owed corresponding to the bank interest on arrears in Venezuela. IX OPERATIVE PARAGRAPHS 339.
