16 KERIMOVA v. AZERBAIJAN JUDGMENT activities and to receive the resultant fees. In addition, the applicant has not shown that the total of the fees in question was less than that of the parliamentary allowances that he did indeed lose during the period in question ... Having regard to the inherent uncertainty in any attempt to estimate the real losses sustained by the applicant and making its assessment on an equitable basis, the Court decides to award him EUR 20,000 under this head, plus any tax that may be chargeable.” 64. The Court notes that, unlike in the above cases, the applicant submitted detailed information about the difference between the salaries that she would have received as a member of parliament and her other income which she had been receiving during the relevant period, which information is in principle sufficient to calculate her “net loss”. The Court considers that, had the applicant become a member of parliament, she could have been expected to serve at least part of her tenure and received certain income from her service. Accordingly, she suffered certain pecuniary damage, although this damage cannot be technically quantified in terms of monthly salaries for the entire term of service of a member of parliament. Therefore, having regard to the inherent uncertainty in any attempt to estimate the real losses sustained by the applicant and making its assessment on an equitable basis, the Court decides to award her EUR 50,000 under this head. 2. Non-pecuniary damage 65. The applicant claimed EUR 100,000 in compensation for the anguish and distress caused to her by the infringement of her electoral rights. 66. The Government argued that the amount claimed was unjustified and excessive. 67. The Court considers that the applicant suffered non-pecuniary damage which cannot be compensated solely by the finding of the violation of Article 3 of Protocol No. 1. Ruling on an equitable basis, the Court awards her the sum of EUR 7,500 in respect of non-pecuniary damage, plus any tax that may be chargeable. B. Costs and expenses 68. The applicant also claimed EUR 4,800 for the costs and expenses incurred before the Court, including EUR 4,500 for legal fees and EUR 300 for postal expenses. 69. The Government claimed that the claim in respect of legal fees was excessive and that the claim in respect of postal expenses was unsupported by any documents. 70. According to the Court's case-law, an applicant is entitled to the reimbursement of costs and expenses only in so far as it has been shown that these have been actually and necessarily incurred and are reasonable as to quantum. Having regard to the legal services actually rendered in the present case and to the services stipulated in the relevant contract concluded
