いかんでは・
This formal pattern says that, depending on the state, result, or handling of a named factor, a particular consequence may follow. It often introduces a serious, exceptional, or consequential possibility.
What the pattern highlights
The noun names a factor whose condition or outcome matters. The は singles out certain possible states of that factor and presents what could happen under those states. The following clause therefore needs to express a genuine consequence, not merely say that things vary in general.
Consequences in formal settings
Common results include cancellation, sanctions, policy changes, and decisions based on an evaluation or response.
