The
Court
recalls
that
where
there
has
been
a
violation
of
the
Convention
it
may
award
the
applicant
not
only
actual
and
necessary
costs
of
the
proceedings
in
Strasbourg
,
insofar
as
reasonable
in
quantum
,
but
also
those
incurred
before
the
domestic
courts
for
the
prevention
or
redress
of
the
violation
(
see
,
for
example
,
I.J.L.
,
G.M.R.
and
A.K.P.
v.
the
United
Kingdom
(
Article
41
)
,
nos
.
29522/95
,
30056/96
and
30574/96
,
§
18
,
25
September

)
.
It
does
not
find
that
the
costs
of
travel
to
meetings
and
contact
or
those
incurred
to
safeguard
property
interests
can
be
regarded
as
related
to
the
latter
head
.
The
fees
of
the
lawyer
in
the
Finnish
custody
proceedings
on
the
other
hand
largely
concerned
the
applicant
’s
attempts
to
regain
custody
of
his
children
and
accordingly
vindication
of
his
rights
under
Article
8
of
the
Convention
.
The
bills
presented
by
the
applicant
are
specified
as
to
the
items
of
work
,
the
time
taken
and
the
hourly
rate
.
Taking
into
account
however
that
not
all
the
work
claimed
was
directly
related
to
custody
matters
,
the
Court
awards
the
sum
of
EUR
41,000
.
In
the
circumstances
,
under
this
heading
,
interest
is
not
appropriate
.
As
regards
the
costs
claimed
for
Strasbourg
,
the
bills
presented
specify
the
items
of
work
but
do
not
explain
either
the
hours
worked
or
the
rate
applied
.
As
part
of
the
application
was
declared
inadmissible
and
the
overall
figure
claimed
is
high
when
compared
to
other
Finnish
cases
and
having
regard
to
the
procedure
adopted
in
this
case
which
was
dealt
with
by
written
submissions
alone
,
the
Court
awards
EUR
15,000
in
this
respect
.
