Omnilex summary

In this employment case, the Federal Labour Court dealt with the defendant's revision and the claimant's revision against the Cologne labour courts' judgments. The Senate, with the parties having waived findings of fact and reasons, granted the defendant's revision, set aside the Regional Labour Court judgment in the relevant part, amended the Labour Court judgment insofar as it had upheld the claim, and dismissed the action in full. The claimant's revision was rejected, and the claimant was ordered to bear the costs.

Omnilex headnote

§ 313a ZPO; waiver of findings of fact and reasons; revision in labour proceedings. Where the parties waive a statement of facts and reasons, the judgment may be rendered in shortened form. If the revision of the defendant succeeds, the appellate judgment is to be quashed to the extent it maintained the claim, the first-instance judgment amended accordingly, and the action dismissed in full; a concurrent revision by the claimant is to be rejected if it does not affect the dispositive outcome. Costs follow the losing party.
