" Two judges rejected his claim that the Justice Secretary unfairly and unlawfully decided he was "not innocent enough to be compensated".
Lord Justice Beatson and Mr Justice Irwin ruled that the Secretary of State was "entirely justified in the conclusion he reached."
The 52-year-old had his conviction quashed on appeal and was subsequently acquitted of the television presenter's murder in a retrial but his application for damages was rejected by the Ministry of Justice.
The landmark ruling made in May 2011 expanded the criteria to include cases in which new facts "so undermined" previous evidence that "no conviction could ever have been based on it". "
