Rejection of labor law revision appeal and allocation of appellate costs to the plaintiff

The Federal Labor Court (BAG) dismissed the plaintiff’s revision appeal, thereby upholding the decision of the Munich Regional Labor Court and ordering the plaintiff to bear the costs of the appellate proceedings. The dispute concerned an employment law matter, specifically a challenge to a labor court judgment, where the plaintiff sought to overturn the lower court’s ruling on the merits. The court’s final judgment rests on the procedural assessment of the revision appeal under German civil procedure law, resulting in a complete victory for the defendant party by affirming the prior instance’s substantive and procedural determinations.
