Chris Huhne has lost a court challenge against an order that he must pay £77,750 costs from his prosecution.
The former Cabinet minister and ex-wife Vicky Pryce have served jail terms for perverting the course of justice after she took speeding points for him in 2003.
The costs order was made in May at London's Southwark Crown Court after prosecutors claimed more than £100,000 from Huhne.
Now, three judges at the Court of Appeal have rejected his case at a hearing in the capital.
Huhne pleaded guilty last February while economist Pryce, who was convicted by a jury, was ordered to pay £49,200.
They were both jailed for eight months.
The speeding points scandal brought about the end of Huhne's political career.
It forced him to stand down as a Cabinet minister and later to resign as an MP.
The costs order was made by Mr Justice Sweeney at Southwark Crown Court.
Rejecting all grounds of challenge, Lord Justice Davis, sitting with Mr Justice King and Judge Michael Stokes, said Mr Justice Sweeney had "reached a conclusion as to what was just and reasonable which was open to him".
