Legal issues In reviewing the claims in the fifth F4 instalment, the Panel considered a number of legal issues relating to the claims.

The fourthsecond group of overlapping claims initially consisted of E4 claims related to 39seven category C claims and 24 category C and D claims.

In such an instance, the Panel has valued the company losses as a whole and, in this respect, confirms the application to the stand alone claims of paragraphs 39, 41 and 42 of the Special Overlap Report relating to the consolidation of losses from several claims for the loss of one company.

6.2 The State party argues that the author's claims relating to his imprisonment in Barwon Prison are inadmissible as the author is not a victim within the meaning of article 1 of the Optional Protocol.

Concerning the issue of duplicate claims, the secretariat indicated that it was aware of the risk of duplicate claims from the outset of claims processing and took steps to identify and eliminate such claims during the course of claims processing.

Consistent with the approach in previous E4 instalments, all sums relating to stand alone claims in this instalment have been converted to Kuwaiti dinars (where necessary) for the purpose of valuation and then rounded to the nearest Kuwaiti dinar.

The average amount claimed for the claims in this instalment is about USD 2 million, compared to about USD 820,000 for all claims, about USD 934,000 for Jordanian claims and about USD 861,000 for Kuwaiti claims in the regular category D claims programme.

Category A corrections higher to lower amounts Family to individual The Government of the Philippines reported that 17 claims originally filed as family claims were in fact individual claims.

3.2 The petitioner claims that the State party has violated articles 2, subparagraph 1 (d), and 6, by not providing effective remedies against a violation of the rights relating to article 5. He refers to the Committee's decisions in L.K.

(v) Provision of secretariat services to the Claims Board and the Advisory Board on Compensation Claims.

(b) Claims relating to rights of individual workers (articles 6 8 of the Covenant) the ILO procedures protect workers' human rights only through representations by an employees' association, an employers' association or a Government (a collective complaints mechanism)

The average number of loss types is 3.14 for the claims in this instalment, compared with 2.01 for all claims in the regular category D claims programme, 1.93 for Jordanian claims and 1.71 for Kuwaiti claims.

The E4 claims population consists of claims submitted by Kuwaiti private sector corporations and entities, other than oil sector and environmental claims, eligible to file claims under the Commission's Claim Forms for Corporations and Other Entities ( Form E ).

The individual category C and D claims in the thirtieth instalment are claims filed through a late claims programme established by the Governing Council for Palestinians who can demonstrate that they did not have a full and effective opportunity to file claims with the Commission during its filing period for individual claims from 1 January 1992 to 1 January 1996 (the regular filing period for individual claims ).

Procedural issues Failure to substantiate claims

The median amount claimed is about USD 470,000 for claims in this instalment, compared with about USD 263,000 for all claims, about USD 335,000 for Jordanian claims and about USD 276,000 for Kuwaiti claims in the regular category D claims programme Approximately 75 per cent of the claims in this instalment contain D8 D9 business losses in relation to unincorporated establishments in Kuwait.

As stated above, the eligible category D Palestinian late claims have a higher incidence of loss types and higher amounts claimed than claims in the regular category D claims programme, giving rise to a potential risk of overstatement of the claims.

This global approach was suited to the specifics of category C claims processing, as category C claims are subject to mass claims processing procedures and are not subject to extensive individual review or claim development.

The awards for these category A claims should be reduced to the amounts appropriate to the proper status of the claims.

After these transfers and additions, the claims remaining in the thirtieth instalment therefore relate to 25 claims for the losses of 24 companies and are hereinafter referred to as the claims in this instalment .

4.3 As to the claims relating to enforcement problems in Ontario, the State party points out that much of the documentary evidence submitted by the author related to the federal Human Rights Commission, a distinct body to the Ontario Commission, which was uninvolved in the case.

Of these claims, the Panel recommends awards of compensation for two claims, while no awards are recommended for the remaining 16 claims.
