Complaint falls flat for Pocher, Becker successfully proceeds.

In a landmark ruling, Boris Becker has emerged victorious in a long-standing legal dispute against Oliver Pocher. The case, identified as Case VI ZR 393/23, stems from an episode of RTL's show "Pocher - dangerously honest."

The ruling by the Higher Regional Court in Karlsruhe, which has now become final and legally binding, found in favour of Becker. The dispute centred around a fundraising appeal in the show, under the slogan "Make Boris rich again," which was found to have involved a three-digit euro amount being given to Becker, although he was unaware of it. The money was hidden in a supposed fashion prize awarded to Becker in the show.

Meanwhile, Oliver Pocher was not allowed to further distribute disputed image sequences of the TV contribution and had to delete the relevant film extracts from his own internet presence.

Pocher's lawyer, Patricia Cronemeyer, is considering filing a constitutional complaint against the rejection of the non-admission complaint. Cronemeyer believes the Federal Court of Justice (BGH) should review the decision for legality and correctness, as it gravely violates constitutional principles. However, Pocher's attempt to appeal to the BGH against the non-admission of the revision was rejected.

In a separate development, Patricia Cronemeyer announced that she would file a complaint with the Federal Constitutional Court after her lawsuit against the rejection of the revision by the Federal Court of Justice was dismissed.

Elsewhere, the employment termination of Julia Ruhs at NDR has been criticised in an internal letter. However, no new facts about this matter were mentioned in the current paragraph.

Bavaria's leader, Söder, has expressed a desire to save 10,000 positions in the public sector, but no further details were provided regarding this initiative.

The music school in Maichingen, known as the engine of a band, was not directly involved in this legal dispute.
