Employment dispute: Final appellate rejection of employer’s challenge to lower court’s assessment of employment rights and cost allocation

The Federal Labour Court (BAG) dismissed the defendant employer’s revision, upholding the regional court's judgment and leaving the appellate decision in force, while ordering the defendant to bear 90% of the costs of the final instance. The dispute concerned a dispute over employment-related claims, specifically challenging a lower court's assessment of the parties' rights and obligations. Although the specific factual matrix is not detailed in the provided excerpt, the legal basis for the decision rests on the BAG's application of German labour law principles to the specific subject matter of the appeal, resulting in a complete rejection of the employer's legal arguments against the employee's claim.
