Tokens: I
respectfully
disagree
with
the
majority
’s
conclusion
that
lex
mitior
should
have
been
applied
by
the
domestic
courts
to
resolve
the
conundrum
in
Article
53
§
2
(
2
)
.
In
fact
,
there
is
no
subsequent
more
lenient
law
to
be
applied
to
the
applicant
in
the
present
case
,
which
is
simply
one
of
the
reasonable
interpretation
of
domestic
law
.
Moreover
,
this
case
is
not
about
“
punishment
”
as
understood
in
the
case
-
law
of
the
Court
,
and
therefore
Article
7
does
not
apply
.
Finally
,
even
assuming
that
it
does
,
lex
mitior
is
not
applicable
to
the
case
.
