Dear Colleague,

This week, it was extremely positive to see that Pendragon won their appeal on multi-user vehicles, following their conviction of unfair commercial practice after advertising an ex-rental car as having one registered keeper. NFDA will continue to work on clarifying the issues surrounding the use of multi-user vehicles. Please find more details in the news.
