Summary of case: Ernest Myers runs a butchery business and keeps a few animals and has three grass fields. He has passed C1. He suffers from recurring ‘appendicitis’. He is doing two days per week of national work among the farmers, as instructed by the local tribunal and is also a member of the Volunteer Training Corps since Jan 1917. He asks for a further extension. Legal argument as to whether an appeal should be made to the local tribunal or the North Riding Appeal Tribunal.
