Wage payment claim granted on revision

BAG 1 AZR 815/13Bag / Division 1May 5, 2015Modified

Extracted by Omnilex

Omnilex summary

The Federal Labour Court decided a revision in an employment dispute over EUR 429.00 gross. It set aside the judgment of the Lower Labour Court, amended the judgment of the Labour Court, and ordered the defendant to pay the plaintiff EUR 429.00 gross plus interest from 2012-08-05. The defendant was ordered to bear the costs. The decision notes that the parties waived the statement of facts and reasons under § 313a(1) ZPO.

Omnilex headnote

§ 313a Abs. 1 ZPO; waiver of findings of fact and reasons by the parties does not preclude appellate review. In revision, the Federal Labour Court may set aside the appellate judgment and decide the matter itself by amending the first-instance judgment where the dispositive outcome requires it. The dispositive allocation of costs follows the success of the revision; no further reasoning is provided where the judgment is rendered without full factual findings and reasons under the statutory waiver.
