Big win for drivers today! A High Court judge has just ruled that French car companies Peugeot Citroën and Renault can't use a French law as an excuse to dodge a major emissions cheating case here in the UK.

The Lowdown:
Remember the Dieselgate scandal? It all started back in 2015 when Volkswagen got caught cheating on emissions tests. Well, it looks like VW wasn't alone.
Lawyers who are representing over a million potential claimants in the UK, believe this emissions cheating was widespread across the car industry, causing a major public health crisis right here on our streets.
Peugeot Citroën and Renault tried to pull a fast one, claiming a French law stopped them from sharing info needed for the UK case. They said they'd risk being prosecuted in France if they cooperated.
Thankfully, the judge wasn't having any of it! This ruling means the case against these carmakers can move forward without unnecessary delays or roadblocks.
What This Means for You:
If you own or owned a Peugeot or Renault diesel car, this is good news! It strengthens the case against these companies and brings us one step closer to holding them accountable for their alleged deception.
Stay Tuned:
The fight against emissions cheating is far from over, but this is a big victory for drivers. We'll keep you updated as the case progresses.
