145. The Court reiterates its position that, as regards the income lost due to the
proceedings before the High Court*® and the claim for lawyers’ fees during
domestic
proceedings,
such
loss should
be proven
before this Court with
evidence of financial returns that could have been realised as well as evidence
of payments to his counsel. In the instant case, the prejudice resulting from the
lengthy
judicial
proceedings
could
also
have
been
supported
by
proof
of
payment of lawyers' fees, as well as procedural and other related costs. The
Court notes that, the Applicant provided
no such evidence
in support of his
claims. Consequently, these claims are dismissed.
146. With respect to the claim for compensation based on the disruption of his life
plan,
chronic
illness
and
poor
health,
the
Court
notes
that the Applicant's
allegation is simply a general statement that is not supported by any evidence.
Consequently, this claim is also dismissed

duties and freedoms enshrined in the Charter. The Applicant further argues that
the Respondent State's failure to try him within a reasonable time and provide
him with equal protection of the law and its violation of his dignity by degrading
him through torture, caused him serious stress.

and sickness since his incarceration such as hypertension and cardiomegaly.
He further submits that he lost his social status and standing in the community
