BERLIN (Reuters) - A German court
has rejected a complaint against Volkswagen <VOWG_p.DE> brought
by fish distributor Deutsche See which has sued the carmaker
over its diesel-test cheating.
Deutsche See said in February it was suing the German carmaker
over malicious deception for leasing diesel vehicles VW had said
were environmentally friendly, the first corporate case for VW
in its home market since the emissions scandal broke in
September 2015.
Deutsche See will consult with its lawyers about further steps,
the company said.
The world's largest automaker is facing a barrage of lawsuits
from customers, investors and regulators over its diesel-test
cheating.
