Former sinnfeinireland president Gerry Adams was wrongly denied compensation after his convictions for trying to escape from prison in the 1970s were quashed, the High Court rules.
The interim custody order used to initially detain him was held to be invalid because the then-Northern Ireland secretary, Willie Whitelaw, had not personally authorised it.
Mr Adams' lawyer said the newly-discovered fact in this case was the confirmation that "there was no personal consideration by the secretary of state, and that minister of state signed the ICO without authorisation to do so"."The newly-discovered fact led to the quashing of these convictions," he added.
The judge stressed that both counsels were unaware of the factual situation surrounding the invalid ICO.
