Dismissal of revision: Defendant's liability for damages from unlawful conduct in employment termination disputes.

The Federal Labour Court dismissed the defendant's revision, thereby affirming the lower court's judgment and allowing the plaintiff to prevail. The dispute concerned a civil action for damages resulting from an unlawful conduct, specifically alleging that the employer violated statutory protection standards during a termination of employment. The decisive legal basis was the interpretation of the German Civil Code regarding tort liability and the Unfair Dismissal Act, which established that the employer's failure to comply with mandatory procedural requirements in the dismissal process rendered the termination void and gave rise to a claim for compensation.
