Waiver of trial merits and costs allocation due to procedural coordination with lead case

The German Federal Labor Court dismissed the plaintiff's revision and ordered the plaintiff to bear the costs, thereby upholding the prior judgment of the Hessian Regional Labor Court. The dispute concerned a labor law matter where the parties jointly waived the detailed statement of facts and reasons for judgment pursuant to § 72 Abs. 5 ArbGG in connection with §§ 555 Abs. 1 Satz 1, 313a Abs. 1 ZPO, as the court referred to the reasoning provided in the lead case 9 AZR 504/10. This procedural consolidation allowed the court to resolve the case by applying the legal conclusions reached in the associated leading decision without duplicating the full analysis in this specific judgment.
