Severance pay entitlement and statutory limitations in labor law dispute

The Federal Labour Court dismissed the plaintiff's revision, upholding the Landesarbeitsgericht Düsseldorf's judgment and ordering the plaintiff to bear the revision costs. The dispute concerned a claim for severance pay or similar compensation, where the plaintiff challenged the lower court's determination regarding the statutory limitations or calculation of the award. The decisive legal basis involved the assessment of the substantive entitlement to compensation under German labor law, specifically concerning the validity and enforceability of the claim as determined by the lower instance, which the higher court found to be legally sound.
