Restoration of first-instance judgment affirming employee’s claim against employer

The Federal Labour Court (BAG) reversed the appellate court's judgment and reinstated the first-instance ruling, resulting in a victory for the plaintiff. The dispute concerned a claim for continued remuneration or a related employment benefit, where the defendant employer had appealed against the lower court's finding that the claim was valid. The appellate court had previously dismissed the plaintiff's suit, but the BAG found that appeal to be unfounded. By upholding the initial district labor court decision, the BAG ordered the defendant to bear all costs for both the appellate and revisional proceedings.
