Could I have a copy?

Middlebridge Scimitar had a gloriously tangled history, buying the
rights to make the Reliant Scimitar from Reliant, spent millions of
their Japanese backers money to make the Scimitar more acceptable for a
modern car buyer, sold a few cars to discerning owners then went
spectacularly bust!

Yours, I expect is a High Court judgement, written by the Judge. The
Christine Healey judgement is from an Employment Tribunal, a lower
court, more informal, where the judgement is written by the Tribunal
Chair, always a lawyer and approved by the other two members of the
Tribunal, normally an employers representative and a trades union
representative. These are normally written as 'stories', some would be
really funny if it didn't involve real people.
