The UK Supreme Court has ruled that special Treasury orders that freeze the assets of terror suspects are unlawful.
The judges at the UK's highest court said the government had exceeded its powers by controlling the finances of five suspects.
The court said the government should have sought Parliament's approval for the asset freezing regime, rather than creating it automatically.
The five men at the centre of the case have only been usually allowed £10 a week in cash and need special permission for other expenses.
