NISKASAARI AND OTAVAMEDIA OY v. FINLAND JUDGMENT 15 application must be rejected as manifestly ill-founded and declared inadmissible pursuant to Article 35 §§ 3 (a) and 4 of the Convention. IV. APPLICATION OF ARTICLE 41 OF THE CONVENTION 63. Article 41 of the Convention provides: “If the Court finds that there has been a violation of the Convention or the Protocols thereto, and if the internal law of the High Contracting Party concerned allows only partial reparation to be made, the Court shall, if necessary, afford just satisfaction to the injured party.” A. Damage 64. The applicants claimed EUR 31,942.29 in respect of pecuniary damage and the first applicant claimed EUR 5,000 in respect of non-pecuniary damage. 65. The Government considered that, should the Court find a violation of Article 10 of the Convention, the applicants should be awarded as pecuniary damages the sums paid by them. As to the non-pecuniary damage, the Government considered that the first applicant should be awarded reasonable compensation for non-pecuniary damage which in the circumstances of the present case should not exceed EUR 1,500. 66. The Court finds that there is a causal link between the violation found and the pecuniary damage alleged and that, consequently, there is justification for making an award to the applicants under that head. The Court therefore awards the applicants the full sum claimed. In addition, the Court considers that the first applicant must have sustained some nonpecuniary prejudice. Ruling on an equitable basis, it awards the first applicant EUR 1,500 in respect of non-pecuniary damage. B. Costs and expenses 67. The applicants also claimed EUR 18,500 for the costs and expenses incurred before the domestic courts and EUR 5,000 for those incurred before the Court. 68. The Government noted that the applicants had not submitted any receipt for the payment of the amounts claimed in the domestic proceedings or for the proceedings before the Court. In the Government’s view, the claims made should therefore be rejected. At any rate, in their submission the total amount of compensation should not exceed EUR 4,000 (inclusive of value-added tax) for costs and expenses incurred in the domestic proceedings and EUR 2,500 (inclusive of value-added tax).in respect of the proceedings before the Court.
