If a lawsuit for the provision of information is combined with an application in accordance with. § 61 Abs. 2 ArbGG for compensation in the event that the information is not provided on time is an indefinite application for the benefit resulting from the information, made at the same time in the event of the information being provided on time, according to a decision of the Tenth Senate of November 24, 2004 (- 10 AZR 169/04 -) not permitted. This is not a permissible step-action lawsuit within the meaning of of Section 254 ZPO, but rather an application for benefits that is inadmissible due to a lack of certainty necessary to enable enforcement in accordance with. § 253 Abs. 2 No. 2 ZPO. Filing a lawsuit in this way is inadmissible. The application for benefits in the second stage is subject to the procedural condition that the defendant fulfills the right to information within a certain period of time. Procedural economic considerations do not support the permissibility of cumulating both applications. It leads to legal uncertainty in the further procedural procedure. The plaintiff could use information that he recognized as incomplete as the basis for the second level of benefits or take the view that compensation was now due because the information was not provided properly. In such a case it would be completely unclear at what stage the process is currently at. If the appeal court issues a partial judgment on the right to information and compensation because it incorrectly assumes that there is a preclusion period guaranteed by the step-by-step action, the appeal court can take the second part of the step-by-step action and the auxiliary application for payment of minimum contributions made in the event of its inadmissibility and either make a decision when it is ready for a decision or, if findings are still missing, refer the legal dispute back. The inadmissibly divided subject matter of the dispute can be brought together in the appeal court. This is justified by the acceleration principle prevailing in labor law.
