51 Commission […], as well as before this […] Court. [The State must] also pay the costs and expenses incurred in by Mr. […] Acosta Calderón during the processing of the case before the domestic justice system;” b) due to lack of existence of elements that allow an exact determination of the value of the costs and expenses incurred in by Mr. Acosta Calderón before the domestic justice system, it is fairly determined at US$ 2,000; c) the State must reimburse US$ 7,2000.00 to CEDH for concept of the costs and expenses incurred in before the Inter-American system, without detriment to future costs and expenses as well as the cost of airplane tickets, accommodations, shipment of documents, photocopies, telephone calls, and other expenses related to said procedure; and d) the State must reimburse US$5,110.00 to Dr. Alejandro Ponce Villacís for costs and expenses incurred in before the Inter-American system, without detriment to future costs and expenses related to this procedure. Considerations of the Court 168. Regarding the reparation for costs and expenses incurred in by Mr. Acosta Calderón and his representatives before the national judicial system and the InterAmerican system, there is no evidence in the process before this Tribunal that Mr. Acosta Calderón granted any power of legal representation to CEDHU or Mr. Alejandro Ponce Villacís to represent him before this Tribunal. However, taking into consideration the acts of representation of the CEDHU and Dr. Alejandro Ponce Villacís before the Inter-American Commission, as well as the briefs presented by them before the Court, this Tribunal determines, based on the principle of equity, the amount of US$ 5,000.00 (five thousand dollars of the United States of America) and US$ 2,000.00 (two thousand dollars of the United States of America), respectively. In the same sense, due to lack of elements that can help determine in an exact manner the value of the costs and expenses incurred in by Mr. Acosta Calderón before the domestic courts, this Tribunal establishes, based on the principle of equity, the amount of US$ 2,000.00 (two thousand dollars of the United States of America), which must be paid pursuant to that established in paragraphs 169 through 174 of the instant Judgment. XIV MEANS OF COMPLIANCE 169. In order to comply with the instant Judgment, the State must issue payment for the compensations for pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages (supra para. 160) to Mr. Acosta Calderón, as well as reimbursement of the costs and expenses (supra para. 168) to CEDHU and Messrs. Alejandro Ponce Villacís and Acosta Calderón, within a one-year period, as of its notification. 170. If due to causes attributable to the victim it is not possible for him to receive the pecuniary reparations within the indicated time period, the State shall deposit said amounts in favor of Mr. Acosta Calderón in an account or deposit certificate in a reputable Ecuadorian bank, in United States dollars, and under the most favorable conditions allowed by legislation and banking practices. If after ten years the compensation has not been claimed, the amounts will be returned to the State along with the interests earned.
