Damages and continued employment after unfair dismissal

The Federal Labor Court dismissed the plaintiff's revision, upholding the decision of the Munich Regional Labor Court, which means the defendant prevailed and the plaintiff is liable for the costs of the revision proceedings. The dispute concerned a claim for damages and/or continued employment in an unfair dismissal case, where the employee challenged the termination of the employment relationship. The court’s rejection of the revision confirms that the lower instance's assessment of the material facts and legal standards regarding the validity of the dismissal and the statutory requirements for an effective complaint against dismissal stood.
