Since when has anyone ever shown Abdul-Hakim Belhaj to be a 'terrorist'?
He was simply a vociferous campaigner against the injustices of the Gaddafi regime, who was illegally arrested and subjected to extraordinary rendition by the US authorities (with the undoubted complicity of the UK Government), resulting in him being imprisoned and tortured for six years:

So that's the sort of thing which you think our courts should defend, is it, TTT?

I believe he only ever wanted an apology. This man was treated very badly. He was arrested in Bankok whilst fleeing the Gadafi regime because he was against speaking against him. It was during Blair's loved up period with Gadafi (remember them kissing in the desert). Our security services located him and the Amercans picked him up and delivered him into the Gadafi regime, where he was tortured. Straw was head of the security services at the time so he was obviously aware of what had happened. This mans wife was also imprisoned and she was pregnant. Extraordinary rendition is not acceptable.
If this was about money, the British Government should pay him the £1 he has been asking for, and apologise.
Instead, they will waste hundreds of thousands of pounds and pay him a fortune because they will not let any of their involvement in rendition to be made public in Court.
There is only one party here being profligate with taxpayers money, and it is mot the individual we tortured.

From your own link...
// The damages action is based on documents uncovered in Tripoli following the fall of Colonel Gaddafi in 2011.
In one document, Sir Mark Allen, MI6's then head of counter-terrorism, tells a Libyan official the capture had only been possible because of British intelligence.
Mr Belhaj alleges he was tortured by his Libyan jailers and questioned by British intelligence officers during his detention. //
Not sure why you bothered starting this thread if you do not like what is in your own link. Can always tell when you fail to understand when you start spoting the anti-British accusation. Why not debate what is in your own link rather than childish name calling?

From your linK!
This is a major blow for the government, which has fought for years to prevent the allegations made by Mr Belhaj and his wife being heard in public.
Every other legal battle over alleged British involvement in complicity in rendition has stopped before the actual claims - and the government's defence - have been tested in open court.
Ministers paid out millions of pounds in compensation to former Guantanamo Bay detainees to prevent just such material being aired.
The legal effects of this judgement go a lot further than the specifics of the Belhaj case.
Our highest court has said that even if another state is primarily responsible for the claimed wrongdoing, there's no reason to stop the facts being heard in our courts if there are serious allegations that the UK was somehow involved.
That is why he has brought the case, there ARE ' serious allegations that the UK was somehow involved'
He is NOT asking for compensation apart from token £1 , he wants an explanation and an apology.
Another problem for Mrs May from the Supreme Court.
