BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Purchasers of vehicles equipped with defeat devices must have a right to compensation from the manufacturer, an adviser to the top EU court said on Thursday in a case brought against Mercedes-Benz.
Judges of the Court of Justice of the European Union are not bound by advice from an advocate general, but follow them in the majority of cases.
