Maybe not as huge as it should be but

In 2021, the Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT) ordered the Met Police and NPCC to pay a total of £229,471 to Ms Wilson “by way of just satisfaction for the breaches of her human rights”

Not nearly enough.

I hope a sincere apology was included in that as well.

They were required to apologise also, although sincerity cannot be ensured.

Edit: Or rather, the Met police and NPCC have apologised, it seems like the officer has not and generally shows no remorse.
