Dismissal of employer’s revision and reversal of appellate award in individual employment dispute

The Federal Labor Court (BAG) reversed the lower court's decision in favor of the plaintiff, thereby upholding the initial judgment by the local labor court and dismissing the plaintiff's appeal and revision in their entirety; the plaintiff was ordered to bear the costs of the appellate and revision proceedings. The dispute concerned a civil employment law matter where the plaintiff, having initially succeeded in appealing against the local court's dismissal, failed on further appeal to the BAG, resulting in the final restoration of the defendant's successful defense at the first instance. While the specific statutory provisions are not detailed in the provided tenor, the decisive legal basis rests on the appellate court's assessment that the lower appellate instance erred in granting the plaintiff's claim, necessitating the reversal of the intermediate judgment to align with the original dismissal of the plaintiff's action.
