Extracted by Omnilex

Omnilex summary

The Federal Labour Court allowed the employee's revision, set aside the judgment of the Higher Labour Court and amended the Labour Court's judgment. It declared that the employee was still entitled to two unused replacement vacation days from 2014 and to two additional annual vacation days beyond the 28 days already granted. The employer was ordered to bear the costs. The parties had waived a statement of facts and reasons.

Omnilex headnote

§ 313a Abs. 1 ZPO; waiver of statement of facts and reasons does not preclude appellate review; where the appellate judgment is set aside and the claim is decided on the merits, the court may grant declaratory relief and allocate costs accordingly. In the present case, the Federal Labour Court upheld the employee's request for two remaining replacement vacation days and two additional annual vacation days beyond 28, and corrected the lower-court judgments (consid. not specified).
