There, the court considered that the action of the NVU is contrary to public order and morality (especially in relation to discrimination) The NCE was as “unauthorized association” qualified. The organization was not disbanded it conducted the business management by being “Foundation for the support and supervision of the Dutch People's Union” whose dissolution was not advanced and the Dutch People's Union in itself is nothing to cancel.
In its defense, the NCE had argued that they do not actually discriminate, but only after she threatens to discriminate against a democratic manner has received the power of the people. However, this defense to no avail. The consequences of the ban: prosecution of “participants” (a broader concept than just “leden”) and exclusion from elections.

Any subsequent hidden activity, the court did not consider seriously,
