December 2019. Relatives of four British soldiers killed in the Hyde Park bombing have won the first stage of a High Court damages claim against suspect John Downey. Family members of Royal Household Cavalrymen who died in the July 1982 blast brought the civil action against the convicted IRA member after a criminal case collapsed at the Old Bailey in 2014. Mrs Justice Yip ruled on Wednesday that Downey was an “active participant” in the bombing and was jointly responsible with others for the attack, which left 31 other people injured. Announcing her conclusions in London, the judge said: “This was a deliberate, carefully planned attack on members of the military. “I have found that the defendant was an active participant in the concerted plan to detonate the bomb, with the intent to kill or at least to cause serious harm to members of the Household Cavalry.”
