Appellant: Jonathan Percival Dunnington
Summary of case: Dunnington runs a Ladies and Gentleman's tailors business. He has been classed B1 fit. If he is sent to the army the business will be forced to close, as the appellant understands the full trade and no one would be able to take over. The local tribunal states in their reasons for withdrawing his certificate and granting temporary exemption to 6 Jan 1918 that since the conditional exemption had been granted, an invalid sister has died. His mother has a private means providing around £100. The business is not profitable.
Supporting evidence: No
Date and decision of North Riding Appeal Tribunal: 20 Dec 1917. Dismissed, decision of local tribunal to stand. |
