SAVVA TERENTYEV v. RUSSIA JUDGMENT 27 B. Costs and expenses 92. The applicant also claimed EUR 3,000 for the costs and expenses incurred before the domestic courts and EUR 3,500 for those incurred before the Court. The latter amount, which as the relevant document reveals, the applicant was liable to pay, included preparation of the application form as well as research, legal analysis and observations by the representative. 93. The Government contested that claim as excessive, arguing that the case was relatively simple, concerned only one violation of the Convention and involved little documentary evidence. In their view, the research and preparation had not been necessary to the extent claimed by the applicant, therefore the requested amounts should be reduced. 94. 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. 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 5,000 covering costs under all heads, to be transferred directly to the applicant’s representative’s bank account. C. Default interest 95. The Court considers it appropriate that the default interest rate 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. Declares the application admissible; 2. Holds that there has been a violation of Article 10 of the Convention; 3. Holds that the finding of a violation of Article 10 of the Convention constitutes in itself sufficient just satisfaction for any non-pecuniary damage suffered by the applicant; 4. Holds (a) that the respondent State is to pay the applicant, within three months from the date on which the judgment becomes final in accordance with Article 44 § 2 of the Convention, EUR 5,000 (five thousand euros), plus any tax that may be chargeable to the applicant, in respect of costs and expenses, to be converted into the currency of the respondent State at the
