Abstract
In Germany, unlike many other countries, it is not unusual for an employer and employee to end up in court. In particular, if an employee’s employment is terminated by the employer, they may be required to challenge the dismissal before the court in order to obtain a severance payment and avoid detriment in relation to unemployment benefits. The purpose of this chapter is to give an overview of the labour court system and court proceedings in Germany.
