Summary of case: Lovick is classed C2 fit and has been unable to do heavy work. There is no one to carry on the business. Lovick has previously been passed unfit for military service until the rules were changed. A non-military doctor has diagnosed Lovick with a heart problem and believes he would not stand up to military service. The local tribunal finds that the business was not of sufficient importance to keep the man in civil life. The North Riding Appeal Tribunal adjourned the case and sent Lovick for medical examination.
