Volkswagen emissions action settlement

Tens of thousands of drivers are now in line for pay-outs, despite VW disputing that they had done anything wrong for several years.

Allegations against Renault denied by former chief
The former executive of car companies Renault and Nissan has come forward to deny the allegations against Renault, acting as a witness in French investigations that are ongoing into the carmaker. Carlos Ghosn himself became the subject of controversy after he was reportedly arrested in Japan for alleged financial misconduct, which was said to be due to misuse of company money. It was then reported that he later travelled to Lebanon and may have been able to evade the charges against him.
However, in the latest emission scandal news, Ghosn was speaking in relation to the charges against the company that he formerly led, as French prosecutors recently charged Renault with deceit following lengthy investigations. Mirroring the company’s own response to the accusations, Ghosn refuted the claims of any wrongdoing.
Emissions fraud first became a topic of major public discussion when the Volkswagen “dieselgate” scandal broke in 2015. This came with the revelations that the carmaker had been using illegal defeat devices that were designed to cheat emissions tests, something they have continually denied. Our initiation of High Court proceedings against Volkswagen in 2016 has helped to pave the way for the carmaker being held responsible for issues with emissions software, and we are seeking to hold further carmakers accountable for any alleged emissions fraud. If it is found that your vehicle has been affected by emissions irregularities, you may be entitled to claim compensation now.
Thermal windows and the car emissions scandal
Many people will have seen the countless headlines surrounding the car emissions scandal, but it can be difficult to understand exactly what methods car manufacturers might have used to cheat emissions tests. It has been suggested that some carmakers have allegedly exploited so-called ‘thermal windows’ which could allow vehicles to still produce what could be deemed as excessive nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions.
If such accusations are proven to be true, it may be that many diesel vehicles have been producing significant volumes of harmful emissions. Regardless of the exact method used, any suspicions of emissions cheating should be addressed.
Following the High Court ruling that Volkswagen has been using defeat devices in certain diesel vehicles, we have started group actions against other suspected car manufacturers over similar allegations. Those who own or have previously owned affected vehicles may be entitled to recover thousands of pounds in compensation.

Group action deadlines: IMPORTANT WARNING
Missing group action deadlines can mean that you are unable to complete a compensation claim as part of an established action.
This can mean that you are then unable to recover any compensation at all, so it is incredibly important to make sure you start a legal case as soon as you can. You do not want to miss out on thousands of pounds by leaving it too late.
We wanted to raise more awareness about this as we have recently received new enquiries from a number of people affected by the Volkswagen Emissions Scandal. The court deadline for this action has passed and we are unable to take new cases forward. Here is some additional advice about the deadlines and the consequences of missing them.
Volkswagen claim deadline triggers fresh wave of enquiries
As expected, the Volkswagen claim deadline has triggered a huge wave of new enquires trying to start their case before the cut-off point.
We always have made a real point of the fact that Claimants MUST start their case as soon as they can. There’s no point in waiting until the last minute, and those who do risk missing out entirely.
Our office phone lines have been ringing off the hook over the last few weeks. Enquiry numbers have skyrocketed. The reason is the looming deadline; a deadline that expires today.
Will the Volkswagen class action change the way the UK handles Group Litigation?
Will the Volkswagen class action change the way the UK handles Group Litigation Order cases? We have never had a class action of this kind of scale and nature in the UK before, and whilst our American cousins are used to dealing with class actions involving millions of people, the UK, typically, is not.
The UK Volkswagen compensation case could include more than 2 million potential claimants. That is monumental in any scope of class actions here in the UK, and this action may set some important precedents for the future.
In some ways, we hope this may be a catalyst for change.

Product Liability Claims in Group Action cases
As a consumer, you are protected by law for defective products causing you harm. Under things like the Sale and Supply of Goods and Services laws and regulations, manufacturers and suppliers must only sell things that are, amongst other things, safe and fit for purpose.
Defective products, depending on their purpose, can create all sorts of problems, including injuries and financial loss. We have represented (and still are representing) victims for major product claims here in the U.K., such as the PIP Breast Implant scandal, the Metal-On-Metal hip device problems, and the massive VW Emissions Scandal action.
It’s a huge area of law and one we’re particularly experienced in.
