Deutsche Bank AG and four Euribor rate submitters the lender fired last year agreed to enter court-monitored mediation to resolve the dispute.

The judges were reviewing Deutsche Bank’s bid to overturn a labor court ruling that the traders were improperly dismissed because the lender didn’t have processes in place to prevent conflicts of interest when submitting data to calculate interest-rate benchmarks.
