Labor court revision concerning costs and procedural outcome of employment dispute appeal

The Federal Labor Court dismissed the plaintiff's revision, leaving the Landesarbeitsgericht Düsseldorf judgment of January 20, 2017, in force, and ordered the plaintiff to bear the costs of the revision proceedings. The dispute concerned an appeal against a lower court decision, challenging its outcome in a labor law matter. The court applied the relevant provisions of German labor procedural and substantive law to determine that the lower court’s assessment was legally sound and that the plaintiff failed to demonstrate any legal errors warranting a reversal on appeal.
