The Court also deems it necessary that, within a reasonable time, the State implement an education and training program for justice operators and health care professionals about the laws enacted by Ecuador in relation to patients’ rights and to the punishment for violating them. D) COSTS AND EXPENSES 165. Costs and expenses are included in the concept of reparations as enshrined in Article 63(1) of the American Convention.125 166. Regarding domestic proceedings, the representatives and the Commission requested that the State be ordered to reimburse the expenses incurred to “obtain the medical chart [and] a medical certification of the causes of the death”. Furthermore, the representatives requested the reimbursement of the expenses incurred by Laura Albán’s next of kin in domestic proceedings, which amount to US$1,547.36 (one thousand five hundred and forty-seven US dollars with thirty-six cents) for the professional services rendered by Wilson Yupangui in November 1990; and US$75,600.00 (seventy five thousand six hundred US dollars) for the professional services rendered by Nicolás Romero. Likewise, the representatives requested the Court to order the reimbursement of the expenses arising from the processing of the case before the organs of the Inter-American System, which amount to US$40,000.00 (forty thousand US dollars) for specialized professional services rendered by Farith Simon-Campaña, Alejandro Ponce-Villacís and the team of the Legal Clinics of the San Francisco de Quito University. They also requested payment of twenty thousand dollars (US$20,000.00) on account of the litigation expenses incurred before the Inter-American Court, including traveling expenses and per diem expenses in connection with the hearing, notarial fees, stationary and communication services. Lastly, they requested that the State be ordered to reimburse the expenses incurred by Carmen Cornejo de Albán and Bismarck AlbánSánchez in their appearance before the Commission, in Washington, which amount to no less than US$4,000.00 (four thousand US dollars). 167. Regarding the payment of costs and expenses requested by the representatives, the State challenged their justification, stating that the representation undertaken by the San Francisco de Quito University Law School’s Legal Clinics were exclusively limited to the proceedings before the Court. The State also requested that no payment be set to be made to Farith Simon, as he had informed alternate agent Salim Zaidán, by email, that he “[will] not accept any money in the event of a favorable judgment, whether as fees or as a percentage of any compensation ordered.” 168. The Court takes into consideration the documentary evidence remitted by the representatives of the disbursements made in domestic proceedings and in those before organs of the Inter-American system. Hence, the Courts decides to award, in equity, US$30,000 (thirty thousand US dollars) to Carmen Cornejo de Albán, who 125 Cf.
