INDEX.HU ZRT v. HUNGARY JUDGMENT A. Damage 44. The applicant company did not submit a claim in respect of damages. Accordingly, the Court considers that there is no call to award it any sum on that account. B. Costs and expenses 45. The applicant company claimed 5,520 euros (EUR) for the costs and expenses incurred before the domestic courts and the Court. That sum corresponded to ninety-two hours of legal work billable by its lawyer at an hourly rate of EUR 60. 46. The Government contested that claim. 47. 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 were actually and necessarily incurred and are reasonable as to quantum. In the present case, regard being had to the documents in its possession and the above criteria, the Court considers it reasonable to award the sum of EUR 5,520 to the applicant company for the proceedings before the domestic courts and the Court, plus any tax that may be chargeable to it. FOR THESE REASONS, THE COURT, UNANIMOUSLY, 1. Declares the application admissible; 2. Holds that there has been a violation of Article 10 of the Convention; 3. Holds (a) that the respondent State is to pay the applicant company, within three months from the date on which the judgment becomes final in accordance with Article 44 § 2 of the Convention, EUR 5,520 (five thousand five hundred and twenty euros), plus any tax that may be chargeable to the applicant company, in respect of costs and expenses; (b) that from the expiry of the above-mentioned three months until settlement simple interest shall be payable on the above amount at a rate equal to the marginal lending rate of the European Central Bank during the default period plus three percentage points. 11
