Challenging the dismissal of a labour law appeal: standard of review for the Federal Labour Court’s final revision ruling

The Federal Labour Court (BAG), 3rd Senate, dismissed the plaintiff's revision, thereby upholding the judgment of the Düsseldorf Regional Labour Court and ordering the plaintiff to bear the costs of the revision proceedings. The dispute centered on a labor law matter where the plaintiff contested the outcome of the prior instance proceedings; the higher court affirmed the lower court's decision, leaving the earlier ruling in force. The decision applies general principles of civil procedure and substantive labor law without introducing new landmark doctrines, serving to conclude the litigation on the specific facts presented by the plaintiff.
