Labor law counterclaim: Review of appellate judgment on employment relationship claims

The German Federal Labour Court (BAG) dismissed the plaintiff-appellant’s revision, upholding the decision of the Labour Court of Appeal of Nuremberg and ordering the plaintiff to bear the costs of the appeal. The case concerned a civil labour law dispute, specifically involving a counterclaim regarding an employment relationship, where the lower court’s judgment against the plaintiff remained in force. The final judgment affirmed the appellate court’s resolution on the merits, thereby denying the plaintiff’s further legal challenge to the established determination of their claims and defenses under applicable German labour and civil procedure law.
