The story so far

A UK High Court has rejected most of the 'dieselgate' claims brought by 1.6 million car owners. The court found that major car firms did not install emissions-cheating devices, leading to a loss for drivers seeking compensation.

Coverage from the BBC, Reuters, and Bloomberg emphasizes that carmakers have broadly won the first round of these lawsuits. The Guardian reports that the High Court specifically rejected most of the claims filed by the large group of UK owners.

Market reactions are mixed; Yahoo Finance and simplywall.st note Renault's victory in the diesel case, while ad-hoc-news.de reports that Mercedes-Benz stock remains near lows despite the legal win.
