The deadlines for pursuing emissions compensation cases are set to fall very soon. Given that we have already had one major action settlement so far, and we are working on a No Win, No Fee basis, there is no reason to not pursue your case in our opinion.

The deadlines for people to submit their emissions compensation cases are due to be falling very soon. In fact, for some claimants, you are already out of time if you were supposed to have joined the first Group Litigation Order (GLO) action that was established in 2018 arising from the first “Dieselgate” scandal involving the Volkswagen Group. As a note on that, we are no longer able to pursue cases for those who should have pursued a claim as part of that particular action, and we are sadly no longer able to help. However, as we have been saying for a long time, it is always better to start your claim as soon as possible to avoid that kind of scenario where you miss deadlines.
When it comes to the further Dieselgate scandals involving the wider group of carmakers, limitation periods could be set to be expiring over the next few months, or they may have already passed in some cases. Generally speaking, we expect to be closing the books for new claims in the next few months, so it is vital that you take action as soon as you can. However, even leaving it this late is incredibly risky as we may require information and documentation from you that could take some time for you to obtain. It is not just a case of submitting your details and registering your claim in time, it is a matter of making sure that you do not fail to meet any court deadlines in respect of evidence submissions.

Some people avoid submitting their claims because they are concerned that the action may go nowhere and it may be a waste of time. Given that we work on a No Win, No Fee basis and do all the legwork, that sort of view really makes no sense to us. Further, to appease anyone still unsure, all you need to do is look at the settlement that took place last year.
In the summer of 2022, hundreds of thousands of UK claimants settled their claims in the first Group Litigation Order (GLO) involving Volkswagen. Pay-outs were a few thousand pounds in many cases, so it is well worth your time pursuing a case when you could be facing that kind of damages settlement. Failing to do so simply means that you are forgoing the compensation that you could be entitled to, and it remains in the carmakers’ pockets.
Anyone who has yet to pursue their emissions compensation cases must take urgent action to make sure that they safeguard their right to claim, if they are able to still do so. Given that we are working on a No Win, No Fee basis, there is really nothing to lose in pursuing the claim in our opinion.
