The family of one of the four soldiers killed in the Hyde Park bombing in July 1982 has been awarded £715,000 in damages.
The ruling followed a civil case brought against John Downey, one of those involved in the IRA attack.
Four members of the Household Cavalry died in the blast in London.
Last year, a High Court judge ruled that John Downey was an active participant in the bombing.
On Wednesday, the court ruled that an award of substantial damages to mark society s condemnation of the bombing can only be made if either parliament or the supreme court allowed it.
