The Government's HS2 high-speed rail project could be delayed after a High Court judge ruled the consultation process for compensating those affected was "unlawful".
It was the only successful case among five in which the judge had been asked to send the multi-billion pound project back for reconsideration.
But despite the decision, Transport Minister Simon Burns insisted the scheme would not be held up.
"This has been a convincing victory for the Government," he said.
"It's a green light to go ahead. It will not hold up us going ahead with the project, which is in the national interest."
The first phase of HS2 would see a high-speed railway line running through Tory heartlands from London to Birmingham.
Controversy has surrounded the scheme, with major opposition from residents' groups and local councils bitterly opposing it.
Supporters point to the benefits of a reduction in journey times between the UK's two biggest cities.
