Key legal question
Whether the plaintiff's appeal was admissible insofar as it sought a declaration on pay at the highest age step for June to August 2008.
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible to that extent and had to be dismissed.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Labour Court partially set aside the appellate judgment and rejected the plaintiff's appeal as inadmissible with respect to the specific declaratory component concerning payment at the highest age step for the relevant period.
