Adultery as justifiable dismissal in labor contracts

The Federal Labor Court (BAG) rejected the plaintiff’s appeal in proceedings on appeal (Revision), thereby upholding the prior judgment of the Thuringian State Labor Court and leaving the case costs to the plaintiff. The dispute concerned a labor law claim where the employee challenged a decision regarding her employment relationship, but failed to overturn the lower court's adverse ruling. The court's decision rests on the application of German labor law principles, confirming that the plaintiff did not demonstrate sufficient legal error in the lower instance to warrant a reversal, thus affirming the dismissal of her substantive claims.
