Mr
Stalport
's
wife
and
daughters
claimed
BEF
68,680
in
respect
of
the
pecuniary
damage
sustained
by
their
husband
and
father
,
that
being
the
amount
of
the
fine
and
the
costs
of
the
criminal
proceedings
that
he
had
had
to
pay
after
his
conviction
.
They
further
observed
that
he
had
been
unable
to
continue
to
work
as
administrator
of
various
companies
on
account
of
the
penalty
imposed
on
him
.
They
submitted
that
the
applicant
's
appearance
in
the
Court
of
Cassation
had
been
a
harrowing
experience
,
that
that
court
did
not
have
jurisdiction
to
try
him
and
that
the
procedure
it
had
followed
was
unlawful
.
The
exceptional
nature
of
the
trial
,
which
had
lasted
more
than
five
months
,
and
the
heavy
media
coverage
had
diminished
the
trust
his
associates
had
formerly
placed
in
him
and
had
hindered
the
normal
,
unperturbed
performance
of
his
duties
as
director
-
general
,
in
addition
to
the
injury
to
his
reputation
and
that
of
his
family
.
The
ordeals
he
had
been
through
and
his
conviction
had
not
been
unrelated
to
the
decline
in
his
state
of
health
.
Mr
Stalport
's
wife
and
daughters
therefore
sought
just
satisfaction
reflecting
these
heads
of
pecuniary
and
non
-
pecuniary
damage
and
asked
the
Court
to
award
a
sum
on
an
equitable
basis
.
