Summary of Case: The original appeal to the local tribunal was that he was a horseman and essential to that part of the business of a stud farm. The appeal was on the grounds that as his other workman had also been called up Arthur Rennison was learning to milk and would be essential to that part of the business. The local tribunal refused his appeal, stating Appellant did not appear before tribunal who were of the opinion that his small dairy was not of sufficient importance or size to justify them in granting exemption.
