Labor law dispute over cost allocation in revision proceedings and validity of admission judgment without factual basis

In an appellate labor dispute, the Federal Labour Court (BAG) upheld the plaintiff’s position by reversing the lower appellate court’s judgment and dismissing the defendant’s appeal against a partial judgment from the first-instance labor court, thereby ordering the defendant to bear the costs of both the appeal and the revision proceedings. The case involved a contested employment claim where the defendant had previously challenged the initial favorable ruling for the plaintiff, but the final decision restored the enforceability of the first-instance outcome. The operative legal basis for this decision was the admission of the claim (Anerkenntnis), resulting in a judgment issued without a statement of facts or reasoning, which necessitated the appellate correction to align the procedural record with the substantive admission of liability.
