Updated: 10:35am UK, Wednesday 24 September 2014
Abu Qatada challenged and ultimately thwarted every attempt by the Government to detain and deport him for many years.
Here is a timeline of the legal battle.
1993: Abu Qatada claims asylum when he arrives in Britain on a forged passport.
1994: Allowed to stay in Britain.
1995: Issues a "fatwa" justifying the killing of converts from Islam, their wives and children in Algeria.
1998: Applies for indefinite leave to remain in Britain.
1999: April - Convicted in his absence on terror charges in Jordan and sentenced to life imprisonment.
October - Speaks in London advocating the killing of Jews and praising attacks on Americans.
2001: February - Arrested by anti-terror police over involvement in a plot to bomb Strasbourg Christmas market. Officers find him with £170,000 in cash, including £805 in an envelope marked "For the mujahedin in Chechnya".
December - Becomes one of Britain's most wanted men after going on the run from his home in west London.
2002: Arrested by police in a council house in south London and detained in Belmarsh high-security jail.
2005: Freed on conditional bail and placed on a control order but arrested again in August under immigration rules as the Government seeks to deport him to Jordan.
2008: April: Court of Appeal rules deportation would breach his human rights because evidence used against him in Jordan might have been obtained through torture.
May - Granted bail by the immigration tribunal but told he must stay inside for 22 hours a day.
June - Released from Long Lartin jail in Worcestershire and moves into a four-bedroom house in west London.
November - He is rearrested after the Home Office tells an immigration hearing of fears he plans to abscond.
December - Qatada's bail is revoked by the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (Siac) after hearing secret evidence that the risk of him absconding has increased.
2009: Five Law Lords unanimously back the Government's policy of removing terror suspects from Britain on the basis of assurances from foreign governments and it is ruled he can be deported to Jordan to face a retrial on the terror charges.
He is awarded 2,800 euro (£2,500) compensation by the European Court of Human Rights after the judges rule that his detention without trial in the UK under anti-terrorism powers breached his human rights.
2012: January - European judges rule he can be sent to Jordan with diplomatic assurances but not while "there remains a real risk that evidence obtained by torture will be used against him".
February - He is released on strict bail conditions.
April - Rearrested as the Government prepares to deport him after Jordan gives assurances it will "bend over backwards" to ensure he receives a fair trial.
March - Qatada's legal team loses its bid to have the case heard by the Europe's human rights judges, clearing the way for deportation proceedings to continue.
May and August - Siac rejects Qatada's applications for bail.
October - Siac holds appeal hearing.
November - His appeal is granted and he is granted bail.
December - Qatada is moved to a larger residence in the greater London area.
2013: March 9 - It emerges Qatada has been arrested for allegedly breaching his bail conditions. He is ordered to stay in custody and sent to Belmarsh.
March 21 - Police reveal the cleric is being investigated over extremist material.
March 27 - Home Secretary Theresa May loses her appeal over Siac's decision to allow Qatada to stay in the UK. The Home Office vows to appeal.
April 17 - The Home Office formally announces that it is seeking leave from the Court of Appeal to take the case to the Supreme Court.
April 22 - The Court of Appeal refuses permission to go to the Supreme Court, forcing the Home Office to appeal directly to the highest court in the land.
April 23 - Theresa May tells MPs she has signed a new treaty with Jordan that should pave the way to deportation, but warns it might take "many months".
May 10 - Qatada's barrister says he will go back to Jordan voluntarily if the treaty on the use of evidence obtained by torture, guaranteeing he will not be tortured, is ratified by the Jordanian parliament.
May 20 - Qatada is refused bail by the Special Immigrations Appeals Commission after "jihadist material" is found on a computer memory stick.
July 2 - The new treaty between Jordan and Britain is fully ratified, sparking claims Qatada could be on a plane within days.
