Paragraph 37
 

However, and this is the issue at stake here, Article 22(2)(f) prescribes dissolution of a so-called successor party as the sole measure/sanction for such parties. Dissolution can therefore follow if the court finds that a party continues or resumes the activities of a party declared unconstitutional. As concerns successor parties, therefore, the issue is first whether the declaration of a party as unconstitutional ipso iure extends to a party which can be considered to be its successor and, second, whether in those cases dissolution is the only adequate measure/sanction.
