Summary of Case: The local tribunal had granted Maynard three temporary exemptions conditional on him remaining in his current occupation.

If he were taken. They also stated that he was one plumber amongst many and therefore all the other plumbers should go before a tribunal. The military representative appealed against the conditional exemption as Maynard had been passed B1 by the medical board.
