The former chairman of the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust (RCHT) cannot take his leaving to an employment tribunal because he has been told he was not an employee, he has said.
Martin Watts said he was forced to resign in June after investigations into complaints about his behaviour.
Mr Watts said NHS lawyers informed him that being a "statutory office holder" did not give him employee status.
The RCHT said its focus remained "providing high quality care".
In August, two reports found Mr Watts had breached the trust's dignity at work policy.
He resigned, but said this was not an admission of guilt.
