Extracted by Omnilex

Omnilex summary

The Federal Labor Court allowed the employee’s revision, set aside the judgment of the Lower Labor Court of Lower Saxony, and amended the Nienburg Labor Court judgment. The employer was ordered to pay EUR 603.84 gross plus interest from 5 August 2012. The court also ordered the employer to bear the costs. The parties had waived findings of fact and reasons pursuant to Section 313a(1) ZPO.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 313a(1) ZPO; waiver of findings of fact and reasons. Where the parties validly waive the statement of facts and the reasons, the judgment may be issued in shortened form. The dispositive part remains fully binding and may include the allowance of revision, the reversal or amendment of the lower judgments, the award of the principal claim, interest, and costs. A short-form judgment does not alter the substantive scope of appellate review or the operative effect of the judgment; it merely dispenses with the written reasons.
