Almost no other aspect of labor law is more dependent on the specific circumstances of each case than dismissal based on the violation of the duties arising out of an employment relationship. With practical usefulness in mind, this volume summarizes the case law of Germany’s labor law courts with a view to case scenarios, both in terms of material facts and legal proceedings. In order to illuminate the scope and limits of dismissal based on conduct, typical circumstances leading to an ordinary and extraordinary dismissal are presented systematically from A–Z along with source references to legal scholarship and case decisions.
