Employment dispute: Reversal of appellate judgment following partial annulment and new formulation of lower court decision

The Federal Labor Court (BAG) partially reversed the appellate decision, reinstating the lower court's judgment that dismissed the plaintiff's appeal, thereby leaving the plaintiff to bear all legal costs; the dispute concerned an employment law claim where the plaintiff challenged a termination or related labor dispute matter, and the BAG held that the lower court’s factual and legal assessment regarding the validity or consequences of the employment relationship was correct under applicable German labor law provisions, specifically rejecting the plaintiff’s arguments on procedural or substantive grounds.
