STUTTGART, Germany (Reuters) - German sports car maker Porsche (PSHG_p.DE) is unlikely to increase its 31 percent stake in Volkswagen (VOWG.DE) this year, a source familiar with the matter said on Tuesday.

The source was speaking after the European Court of Justice struck down a German law limiting any individual's voting rights in Volkswagen to 20 percent.

A Porsche spokesman said earlier it had not decided yet how to proceed and that its supervisory board would have to review the issue.
