demanding was a full reimbursement of the price he paid for an older for a used diesel car flux of eigen argued that it shouldn't have to pay him anything because what he still had at the end of the day was a fully functioning car that he could still drive so this was a case that could have ended in either 2 extremes either either he gets everything back or nothing back and that would have cascading implications for the 60000 or so similar cases that we still have in germany but what the federal court of justice decided was that the matter would get his car reimbursed with that price tag sort of knocked down by a few points according to how much the car was used now not every case in this country is clear cut. not everybody for example sued for some people over there some people see with their dealerships there are some people who bought their diesel cars after the diesel gate scandal had broken and now it's not entirely clear like what's happening with those cases but what this case does is set a clear precedent for those who are suing fox 5 and it puts them on a better footing tell us
