Labour Law: Dismissal of Revision on Employment Termination Dispute

The Federal Labour Court (BAG) dismissed the plaintiff’s appeal, upholding the lower court’s judgment and ordering the plaintiff to bear the costs of the revision proceedings. The dispute concerned a labour law matter, specifically a challenge to the termination or validity of an employment relationship, where the plaintiff sought to overturn the Landesarbeitsgericht Hamm’s prior decision in January 2017. The court ruled that the plaintiff’s claims lacked merit under the applicable German labour law provisions, resulting in a final victory for the defendant.
