Omnilex summary

In this employment case, the Federal Labour Court granted the claimant's revision, set aside the judgment of the Baden-Württemberg Regional Labour Court, and dismissed the defendant's appeal against the Ulm Labour Court judgment. The lower-court result was maintained in substance, but the obligation to pay interest was limited to interest accruing only from 4 December 2012. The defendant was ordered to bear the costs of the appeal and revision proceedings. The decision notes that the parties waived a statement of facts and reasons under Section 313a ZPO.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 313a ZPO; waiver of statement of facts and reasons; where the parties validly waive a full reasoning, the appellate court may confine itself to the operative part. On revision, the Federal Labour Court may set aside the appellate judgment and restore the first-instance result with a limited correction of the operative part, if only a specific ancillary consequence such as the commencement of default interest requires adjustment. The costs of the higher-instance proceedings follow the outcome of the revision and appeal.
