Summary of case: James Beadle is considered essential to the business because he is specially trained in the work of rent collecting for 900 properties in North Yorkshire. O.O. Beadle is not in good enough health to carry out the work and does not consider it would be possible to recruit and train anyone else to take his sons place. Losing the business would result in considerable hardship. The local tribunal does not consider the work to be essential and exempted James Beadle until 22 March to make arrangements for finding another rent collector.
Supporting evidence: Medical report from Doctor.
