With
regard
to
the
jurisprudential
development
of
criminal
law
,
the
Court
uses
the
same
twofold
test
(
the
essence
of
the
offence
test
and
the
foreseeability
test
)
,
but
normally
does
not
allow
for
an
overly
extensive
interpretation.[252
]
Yet
in
some
other
instances,[253
]
the
Court
has
proposed
a
much
stricter
criterion
,
namely
the
strict
interpretation
of
criminal
law.[254
]
Between
the
two
criteria
,
the
Court
has
accepted
gradual
interpretative
expansion
of
the
offence[255
]
and
of
the
penalty.[256
]
The
same
inconsistency
can
be
found
with
regard
to
the
Court
’s
standard
of
assessment
of
facts
and
national
law
in
the
field
of
criminal
law
.
If
Kononov
[
257
]
shows
a
higher
power
of
review
that
seems
to
arise
because
no
derogation
is
allowed
to
the
provision
at
issue
,
in
some
other
instances
,
like
Khodorkovskiy
,
[
258
]
a
much
weaker
standard
for
the
Court
’s
assessment
is
assumed
.
