Erfurt (dpa) - The Federal Labor Court deals today with information claims of employees against their employers.
In the case from Lower Saxony, the question is whether an employee can request a copy of all his business e-mail traffic after his termination.
The plaintiff, a business lawyer, not only wants a copy of the emails that he has written or received himself, but also of those in which he was personally mentioned.
After his termination in 2019, the plaintiff requested information about his personal data, according to the court.
The first instance dismissed his complaint, the Lower Saxony State Labor Court only partially upheld it.
It confirmed the plaintiff's right to copies of his personal data, but denied that he was entitled to all e-mails.
