Diesel ban: Judges postpone decision until Tuesday

The German federal administrative court in Leipzig has announced their decision to postpone their decision on a possible diesel prohibition within cities until Tuesday, 27. Central to the discussion is the question whether German cities can afford to ban diesel vehicles in legal terms.

The discussion in Leipzig went for four hours today, which is significantly longer than originally anticipated. Originally observers expected the decision to happen today. Central to the discussion is the question whether German cities can afford to ban diesel vehicles in legal terms, or whether the legal situation will have to be updated before the ban can go into effect.
