nvoices; and
(c) GBP 175 for administrative and postal expenses.
119. The Government disputed the reasonableness of and justification for the amounts claimed under this heading.
120. The Court has to establish first whether the costs and expenses indicated by the applicant's relative were actually incurred and, secondly, whether they were necessary (see McCann and Others v. the United Kingdom, 27 September 1995, § 220, Series A No. 324).
121. Having regard to the details of the information and legal representation contracts submitted by the applicant, the Court is satisfied that these rates are reasonable and reflect the expenses actually and necessarily incurred by the applicant's representatives.
122. Having regard to the details of the claims submitted by the applicant, the Court awards her the amount claimed of EUR 2,165, together with any value-added tax that may be chargeable to the applicant, the net award to be paid into the representatives' bank account in the UK, as identified by the applicant.
E. Default interest
123. The Court considers it appropriate that the default interest should be based on the marginal lending rate of the European Central Bank, to which should be added three percentage points.
FOR THESE REASONS, THE COURT UNANIMOUSLY
1. Decides to join to the merits the Government's objection as to non-exhaustion of criminal domestic remedies and rejects it;
2. Declares the complaints under Articles 2, 3, 5 and 13 of the Convention admissible and the remainder of the application inadmissible;
3. Holds that there has been a substantive violation of Article 2 of the Convention in respect of Sultan Khatuyev;
4. Holds that there has been a violation of Article 2 of the Convention in respect of the failure to conduct an effective investigation into the circumstances in which Sultan Khatuyev disappeared;
5. Holds that there has been a violation of Article 3 of the Convention in respect of the applicant;
6. Holds that there has been a violation of Article 5 of the Convention in respect of Sultan Khatuyev;
7. Holds that there has been a violation of Article 13 of the Convention in respect of the alleged violation of Article 2 of the Convention;
8. Holds that there has been no breach of the provisions of Article 34 of the Convention;
9. Holds
(a) that the respondent State is to pay, within three months from the date on which the judgment becomes final in accordance with Article 44 § 2 of the Convention, the following amounts:
(i) EUR 10,000 (ten thousand euros), plus any tax that may be chargeable, in respect of pecuniary damage to the applicant;
(ii) EUR 60,000 (sixty thousand euros), plus any tax that may be chargeable, in respect of non-pecuniary damage to the applicant;
(iii) EUR 2,165 (two thousand one hundred and sixty-five euros), plus any tax that may be chargeable to the applicant, in respect of costs and expenses, to be paid into the representatives' bank account in the UK;
(b) that from the expiry of the above-mentioned three months until settlement simple interest shall be payable on the above amounts at a rate equal to the marginal lending rate of the European Central Bank during the default period plus three percentage points;
10. Dismisses the remainder of the applicant's claim for just satisfaction.
Done in English, and notified in writing on 22 April 2010, pursuant to Rule 77 §§ 2 and 3 of the Rules of Court.
