158. Regarding the quantum of compensation, the Court recalls that the Applicants assess the amount of their loss at Two Billion (2,000,000,000) CFA Francs. 159. The Court recalls its jurisprudence that in computing the quantum of reparation for loss of opportunity, it takes into account the amounts requested by the Applicant, provided that the Applicant’s expectation derive from, and are based on the computation that generated the amount claimed.27 160. In the instant case, the Applicants have not provided the Court with any indication of the calculation that led to the amount claimed. However, the Court observes that even if the Applicants were to deposit the amount of Eight Hundred and Twelve Million Four Hundred and Eighty-eight Thousand (812,488,000) CFA francs in the bank, over a period of thirteen (13) years, the amount in respect of the accrued interest at rates ranging from 3.5 to 4.5% applicable in WAEMU Member States banks cannot amount to the Two Billion (2,000,000,000) CFA francs claimed.28 161. Given the above, the Court, based on equity and its discretionary power, awards the Applicants a lump sum reparation of Five Million (5,000,000) CFA Francs excluding taxes, for loss of investment opportunity. B. Moral prejudice 162. The Applicants aver that thirteen (13) years of courts proceedings caused them significant moral damage. They maintain that their opponent was the Respondent State, which used all means of public authority to discourage, humiliate, frustrate and intimidate them. The Applicants further aver that the Respondent State treated them with deep contempt in the instant case, whereas they were only claiming and defending their ancestral and family lands. 27 28 Ajavon v. Benin (reparations) (2019), supra, § 61. The interest would be 475,305,480 CFA francs in time deposit account over 13 years. 38
