Employment law revision dispute challenging appellate affirmance of liability claim against employer

The Federal Labour Court (BAG) reversed the appellate decision, reinstating the lower court's judgment that dismissed the plaintiff's claims, thereby resulting in a complete victory for the defendant. The dispute concerned a civil employment law action where the plaintiff pursued specific contractual or tortious claims against the employer, which the Regional Labor Court had previously allowed to proceed on appeal. The final judgment affirmed the initial procedural outcome, ordering the plaintiff to bear the legal costs of both the appellate and revision proceedings. The decision was grounded in the procedural and substantive norms governing the revision process under German civil procedure law, specifically addressing the sufficiency of the appellate court's reasoning and its alignment with mandatory legal standards, thereby establishing that the lower court's dismissal of the plaintiff's suit was legally sound.
