Challenge Analysis (Schwachstellenkatalog) — where the termination file is likely to weaken first under scrutiny.
This catalog identifies the documentary and procedural weaknesses (Schwachstellen) that expose the employer’s file to the greatest challenge before the Arbeitsgericht. It does not restate the sequential review from Gate Architecture; it identifies where the file is most vulnerable under challenge from opposing counsel or the court.
Browse the challenge registry by category. Start with decisive defects (Formmangel, §102 BetrVG) first — a single decisive defect makes the termination void regardless of substantive merits.
What is the Attack Catalog?
The Attack Catalog identifies and prioritises the challenge points most likely to collapse a contested German termination record. Each attack vector maps to a specific statutory basis under KSchG, BetrVG, AGG, or BGB and is ranked by litigation impact, enabling counsel to focus on the highest-risk deficiencies in the employer’s file.
Who uses this?
Employment law counsel (Fachanwälte für Arbeitsrecht), in-house legal teams, and HR directors use the attack catalog to understand which procedural weaknesses opposing counsel is most likely to exploit in Kündigungsschutz proceedings.
Frequently asked questions
What is an attack vector in this context?
An attack vector is a specific procedural or evidentiary deficiency in a German termination file that creates exposure to legal challenge. Each vector is mapped to the applicable statutory provision and rated by its likelihood of succeeding in proceedings.
How does the catalog relate to the gate architecture?
The attack catalog builds on gate review findings. Where a gate identifies a compliance gap, the attack catalog assesses the practical litigation risk and prioritises the deficiency against comparable patterns from German labour court decisions.
Is this legal advice?
No. The attack catalog provides structured evidence analysis only. It identifies risk areas in the contemporaneous termination file but does not constitute legal advice. See the Disclaimer for details.
Review Framework
How the system reviews termination files for weaknesses
Legal qualification of dismissal type (verhaltens-, personen-, betriebsbedingt)
Pattern matching against BAG precedent structures
Documentary validation against statutory requirements (KSchG, BetrVG, AGG)
The system applies structured documentary review to each termination file, evaluating evidence completeness (Beweismittelvollständigkeit) and procedural integrity through a review framework anchored in KSchG, BetrVG, AGG, and BGB — consistent with BAG case law on employer burden of proof under §1 KSchG.
