Tokens: As
explained
above
,
before
and
after
Sud
Fondi
(
cited
above
)
,
the
domestic
courts
have
consistently
interpreted
the
confiscation
order
in
matters
of
urban
policy
as
an
“
administrative
sanction
”
,
not
as
a
“
penalty
”
in
the
sense
of
domestic
law
(
see
§
§
4
and
6
above
)
.
There
are
,
in
our
opinion
,
good
reasons
to
say
so
:
the
primary
competence
to
order
the
measure
lies
with
the
administrative
authorities
;
the
order
is
,
under
domestic
law
,
not
conditional
upon
a
conviction
for
an
offence
;
the
order
is
aimed
at
restoring
legality
,
that
is
,
repairing
the
damage
done
to
the
general
interest
,
and
preventing
further
illegalities
.
The
latter
aspect
is
in
our
opinion
the
most
relevant
,
if
not
the
decisive
one
,
when
it
comes
to
assessing
the
“
intrinsic
nature
”
of
the
measure
.
