Karlsruhe (dpa) - The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) in Karlsruhe today announced its first judgment on the liability of the VW subsidiary Audi in the diesel scandal.
Most of the car owners concerned have sued Volkswagen directly for damages.
But there are also proceedings against Audi, the car manufacturer is talking about a low four-digit number.
The scandalous engine EA189 was developed at VW, but is also found in some Audi models.
The question is whether Audi can therefore also be accused of immoral damage.
The Naumburg Higher Regional Court had recently awarded the plaintiff in the model case around EUR 20,000 in damages plus interest.
After all, Audi brought the impermissible exhaust technology into circulation in its vehicles.
At the Karlsruhe hearing on February 22nd, however, it had already become apparent that this judgment would not stand.
