Law/Patents - Law (general)
German term or phrase: weiter darauf ankommen
This is a legal analysis concerning the entitlement of an umbrella organisation to refuse membership to applicant sporting associations / federations.

Sollte das Berufungsgericht nach erneuter Priifung von seinem bisher vertretenen Ergebnis abrucken und zu einer Auslegung des § 5 Nr. 2 III etwa im Sinne der vom Beklagten vertretenen Auffassung kommen, so *wird es weiter darauf ankommen*, ob diese Regelung eine hinreichende sachliche Rechtfertigung besitzt.

"darauf ankommen" is often translated as "to come down to", but I can't fit this phrase in here so it can sound elegant.

I have twisted it quite a bit - and am wondering if I have gone too far?

Should the court of appeal disavow the conclusion advocated to date following a review and come to an interpretation of § 5 No. 2 III more or less in accordance with the view held by the respondent, *the point that would remain to be clarified* is whether this provision has sufficient justification.

it will need to be established
Explanation:
.. whether/to what extent

This get the point across quite clearly. If you stick to close to the German, it sounds either too vague or to awkward in English..

some suggestions


Explanation:
I think that weiter means "still", rather than "also" as Kim has suggested. So here are some ideas:

It is still open to question whether...
The question remains as to whether...
It (the appeal court) must still determine whether...

You could put all these in the future tense, as this is a hypothetical future situation, though I think the present tense works too.
