Omnilex summary

The Federal Labour Court partially set aside the Hessian Labour Court's judgment in a salary dispute against a state employer. It held that the claimant's appeal was inadmissible insofar as it sought a declaration of entitlement to BAT IV b basic salary at the highest age step for the period from 1 August 2008 to 31 December 2009. The court also ordered the claimant to bear the costs of the appeal and revision. The parties had waived a statement of facts and reasons because of a leading parallel case.

Omnilex headnote

§ 72 Abs. 5 ArbGG; § 555 Abs. 1 Satz 1, § 313a Abs. 1 Satz 2 ZPO: Where the parties waive findings of fact and reasons in view of a leading parallel case, the Federal Labour Court may decide by abbreviated judgment. In such a constellation, the dispositive outcome may be limited to partial reversal and dismissal of an appeal as inadmissible; the court need not provide a full factual recitation or substantive reasoning beyond the operative part.

Key legal question

Whether the claimant's appeal seeking a declaration of entitlement to salary under BAT IV b for 1 August 2008 to 31 December 2009 was admissible.

Extracted holding

The appeal was inadmissible to that extent and had to be dismissed.

Extracted reasoning

In view of the leading parallel case, the parties waived findings of fact and reasons; the Federal Labour Court therefore limited itself to the procedural outcome and partially set aside the appellate judgment.

Key legal question

Disposition of the defendant state's revision against the appellate judgment.

Extracted holding

The revision succeeded in part and led to a partial setting aside of the appellate judgment.

Extracted reasoning

The Federal Labour Court partially overturned the judgment of the Hessian Labour Court in line with the dispositive outcome.
