Summary of case: The employer states that this man is the only make assistant in the Grocery Division. He was transferred (as a Class CIII man) from the general office to substitute a man already in the fighting line. As Mr Libly substituted a fit man as per a previous recommendation of the Local Tribunal the fact of his being called up is due to some misunderstanding. The local tribunal notes that there is another man Branch Manager of Military age in the department and consider that this together with fact that there is a good supply of female labour capable of doing the work, no hardship is involved in the withdrawal of Mr Libly.
