Omnilex summary

The Federal Labour Court dealt with a wage dispute in which the claimant sought a declaration of entitlement to base salary under pay grade Vb at the highest age step for the period from 1 May 2008 to 31 December 2009. In light of a parallel lead case, the parties waived a full statement of facts and reasons. The court partially set aside the judgment of the Hessian Regional Labour Court and held that the claimant's appeal against the Gießen Labour Court judgment was inadmissible insofar as it concerned that declaratory wage claim. The claimant was ordered to bear the costs of the appeal and revision.

Omnilex headnote

§ 72 Abs. 5 ArbGG; § 555 Abs. 1 Satz 1, § 313a Abs. 1 Satz 2 ZPO; waiver of findings and reasons in view of a lead case. Where the parties validly dispense with a full statement of facts and reasons because a parallel leading proceeding is pending, the appellate court may decide in summary form. If the appeal is inadmissible in part, it is to be rejected to that extent; the partial setting aside of the appellate judgment and the allocation of costs follow accordingly. The dispositive effect is limited to the issue actually resolved, without broader merits review.
