- The Stuttgart labor court ruled the summary dismissal of a pedagogue with 29 years' service invalid because no prior warning (Abmahnung) had been issued.
- The 60-year-old, who cared for HIV-positive residents in two shared homes, remains employed by the AIDS support group and said he would offer his work again on Thursday.
- The association argued that immediate termination can be justified in some cases to protect clients, and a possible appeal has not yet been decided.
- A claim for pay for the period after dismissal was rejected because the court found insufficient evidence that the man had actively sought other employment.
