Plaintiff's burden to bear appellate costs after losing labor dispute

The Federal Labour Court dismissed the plaintiff’s revision, thereby upholding the lower court’s judgment and leaving the plaintiff to bear the costs of the appellate proceedings. The dispute concerned a labor law matter where the plaintiff appealed a decision by the Regional Labour Court of Rhineland-Palatinate, challenging the outcome of the previous instance. The court applied general principles of German labor and civil procedure law to resolve the case, confirming the validity of the lower court’s determination and finalizing the judgment in favor of the defendant.
