Employment dispute; waiver of facts and reasoning pursuant to § 313a ZPO.

The Federal Labor Court (BAG) dismissed the employer’s appeal, thereby upholding the judgment of the Landesarbeitsgericht Berlin-Brandenburg which rejected the employer’s arguments. The dispute concerned an employment law matter where the parties waived the presentation of facts and detailed reasoning pursuant to § 313a of the German Code of Civil Procedure (ZPO). As a result, the appellate decision in favor of the employee remains in force, and the employer was ordered to bear the costs of the revision proceedings.
