The Stuttgart Regional Court has dismissed the climate action brought by the German Environmental Aid (DUH) against the car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz.
It is up to the legislator to decide which measures are to be taken to comply with climate protection.
This cannot be anticipated by an individual lawsuit before a civil court, the regional court in Stuttgart said on Tuesday as a reason.
Stuttgart - With their lawsuit, the environmentalists had demanded a climate-friendly conversion of the car manufacturer.
Among other things, Mercedes-Benz should no longer be allowed to sell conventional combustion engines that emit greenhouse gases from November 2030 (AZ.: 17 O 789/21).
