Reporter, BBC Radio DerbyDerbyshire County Council brought this case because it said the people of Chesterfield weren't properly informed about the risks and downsides of hitching themselves to Sheffield's combined authority plans.
Today a judge in the High Court agreed.
It doesn't stop Chesterfield leaving but it may mean the consultation has to be re-run or added to and could delay mayoral elections in the city.
The legal battle has been costly though. Derbyshire's spent £161,000 but are due to get 85% of that back by order of the court.
