ET judgement in RCH v Watkinson

The request was successful.

Dear Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust,

I have just read this judgement on BAILII:
http://www.bailii.org/uk/cases/UKEAT/201...

This is the appeal, by the Trust, against a decision of the Employment Tribunal in a claim brought by Mr J Watkinson, former Chief Executive of the Trust. (Ie, the appeal [2011] UKEAT 0378_10_1708 Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust v Watkinson)

Can you please provide me with a copy of the judgement of the Employment Tribunal ? That, is the ET judgement which was the subject of the Trust's appeal to the EAT which can be found at the bailii url I quote.

To help you find this:
- The Employment Tribunal's decision was dated 4th May 2010.
- The Trust employed Messrs Edwin Coe LLP Solicitors to handle the appeal.
- Note that Mr Watkinson's name is misspelled as "Watkison" in at least once place.
- Here is a contemporary report of the ET decision: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/cornw...

Thanks in advance.

Yours faithfully,

Ian Jackson
