Labour court revision: dismissal of plaintiff's appeal upholding lower court judgment

The Federal Labour Court dismissed the plaintiff’s revision, upholding the judgment of the Düsseldorf Labour Court which rejected the claim, thereby leaving the lower court’s decision in force and ordering the plaintiff to bear the costs of the revision. The dispute concerned a civil labour law matter, specifically an appeal against the Landesarbeitsgericht Düsseldorf’s ruling dated August 16, 2012 (Case No. 13 Sa 31/12), where the plaintiff challenged the prior outcome on the merits. The decisive legal basis for this final rejection rests on the procedural provisions of the German Code of Civil Procedure governing the admissibility and success of revisions, resulting in no substantive change to the obligations or rights established in the second instance.
