Judgment by admission in labor litigation: dismissal of appeal following defendant's concession of claim on appeal

The Federal Labour Court (4th Senate) dismissed the defendant's appeal, thereby upholding the lower court's judgment and ordering the defendant to bear the costs of the appellate proceedings. In a judgment rendered without factual findings or reasoning, the court entered an acknowledgment of claim (Anerkenntnisurteil) in a labor dispute where the defendant had conceded the claim on appeal, resulting in the final and binding rejection of the appeal. The decision relies on the procedural doctrine of judgment by admission, which applies when a party unconditionally acknowledges the opponent's claims during appellate proceedings, thereby ending the dispute without a substantive review of the underlying labor law issues.
