A mother who was wrongly imprisoned for killing her four-month-old son has lost a legal battle for compensation.
Lorraine Allen, formerly Harris, from Derbyshire, was jailed in 2000 for the manslaughter of her son, Patrick, in December 1998.
The European Court of Human Rights ruled the refusal was "not inconsistent with her innocence".
Ms Allen's conviction was quashed in 2005 following fresh medical evidence.
The decision cannot be appealed against.
The BBC's home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw says the ruling has major implications for other miscarriage of justice victims who have been denied damages for the time they have spent behind bars.
The highest profile of these is Barry George, our correspondent adds, who was was convicted in 2001 of shooting TV presenter Jill Dando.
He was acquitted at a retrial in 2008 after doubt was cast on the reliability of gunshot residue evidence.
