Mercedes emissions case
April 18, 2023
Our Mercedes emissions claim

Our lawyers have been working in the field of emissions litigation since it was first alleged that Volkswagen was guilty of manipulating its diesel vehicles in order to cheat emissions tests. The Volkswagen “Dieselgate” scandal was only a trigger for further allegations, with a host of other car manufacturers being subjected to accusations of emissions fraud. Mercedes was one such manufacturer, and we are looking to address any alleged wrongdoing through compensation action in our Mercedes emissions claim.

If allegations are proven, and Mercedes has failed to comply with emissions regulations, millions of affected customers could potentially be eligible to pursue compensation claims. Should the allegations be proven, Mercedes may be guilty of breaching limits in respect of harmful NOx emissions, and they may also be responsible for a huge breach of consumer rights.

As long-running supporters of the rights of consumers, we saw the Volkswagen “Dieselgate” for the huge injustice that it was. We took action quickly to initiate High Court proceedings against Volkswagen in January 2016, with the eventual litigation that followed resulting in huge numbers of people settling their case. Now, we want to use our invaluable experience and success in emissions litigation to hold other potentially guilty carmakers to account.

Renault emissions compensation
March 21, 2023
Renault emissions diesel compensation claims

Since 2015, a number of regulators and investigators have been scrutinising car manufacturers over potential emissions fraud. The investigations were provoked when the Volkswagen “Dieselgate” scandal first reached the news, with the carmaker being subjected to allegations that it had used illegal defeat device technology to cheat emissions tests. French carmaker Renault has since come under suspicion, and if the accusations prove to be true, those who own or have owned affected vehicles may be eligible to make Renault emissions diesel compensation claims.

Our firm has played a pioneering role in emissions litigation since the beginning. As strong advocates of consumer rights, we saw that the “Dieselgate” scandal represented a significant injustice for thousands of people. We initiated High Court proceedings against Volkswagen to ensure that justice was done, and now we want to ensure that all other suspected carmakers are thoroughly investigated on behalf of customers who may have been subject to emissions cheating.

British Airways legal action
March 07, 2023
British Airways legal action

In 2018, British Airways was hit by a huge cyberattack which compromised significant quantities of its customer data. The incident soon became one of the most infamous data breach events ever seen in the UK, with a significant amount of press coverage damaging the airline’s reputation. Soon after the incidents were reported, we began investigating British Airways’ role in the information exposure, and we are still pursuing compensation claims for our clients in the British Airways legal action.

Despite several years of legal battle, British Airways has continued to dispute accusations of liability for the data breach. These resolute denials have been even more unbelievable considering the enforcement action taken by the ICO, the UK’s data protection regulator, against BA, which consisted of a £20m fine, one of the largest the ICO ever issued.

Whilst some claims in the British Airways data breach GLO have been settled, our claims continue as we look to pursue the highest possible compensation pay-outs for our clients. The action has been ongoing for some time now, but if you were affected by the British Airways data breach and have yet to claim, now is your chance to join our group action before time runs out if you are still able to do so.
