That
being
the
case
,
could
we
consider
a
two
-
stage
assessment
,
starting
with
an
examination
of
the
characterisation
of
the
measure
in
national
legislation
–
a
penalty
or
a
measure
–
and
then
go
on
to
consider
how
national
legislation
provides
for
its
enforcement
,
after
which
the
Court
could
effect
an
autonomous
interpretation
of
the
domestic
legal
provisions
in
order
to
decide
whether
,
under
Article
7
of
the
Convention
,
it
is
a
case
of
a
penalty
or
another
measure
?
That
is
where
the
examination
of
the
measure
’s
compatibility
with
Article
7
would
end
.
If
it
transpired
from
the
assessment
that
domestic
law
classified
the
measure
as
non
-
criminal
and
provided
for
a
mode
of
execution
lying
outside
the
criminal
-
law
field
,
Article
7
would
not
have
been
violated
.
And
if
the
concrete
,
de
facto
mode
of
enforcement
of
a
measure
classified
in
law
as
“
therapeutic
”
amounted
to
a
deprivation
of
liberty
at
variance
with
Article
5
(
1
)
(
e
)
,
the
latter
provision
would
have
been
breached
rather
than
Article
7
.
