Summary of case: Mine is a one-man business, no being interested in it either directly or indirectly except myself. My turnover is £2000 a year. I have a wife and child to support. It is quite impossible for my wife to carry on the business as she is not only a delicate woman but the handling of heavy stock is quite beyond a womans strength nor does my wife know anything about buying stock.
