Although VW Canada has a settlement proposal on the table, the presiding judge has commented that it may not be in the best interests of the consumers.
On 31st March 2017 the Ontario Superior Court of Justice held an approval hearing for the 2.0 TDI litre vehicles aka the TDI Settlement Agreement applicable to Canada (outside of Quebec). This hearing followed a hearing on 22nd March in Quebec held by Justice Marie-Claude Lalande.

It’s believed that the conspiracy went all the way to the top with even the Chief Executive Carlos Ghosn being aware.
At present, Renault deny any wrongdoing; but if the allegations are found to be true, we may have yet again another carmaker who seems to be putting profits before people and our fragile environment…

It’s been months since Volkswagen publically reminded us that compensating victims of the scandal in the UK was unnecessary because a simple ‘fix’ would solve everything.
Victims here were not happy to hear this, especially when U.S. customers are receiving up to $40,000 each through generous buy-back schemes and compensation payouts.
We already know that the so-called ‘fix’ may be causing issues because many of our own clients have reported problems. So, we weren’t surprised to hear that Swedish testing has also revealed issues with VW’s so-called ‘fix’ as well.
The damning evidence is mounting…

A German Environmental Aid, Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH), has recently announced a lawsuit as a result of the emissions scandal arising from VW diesel engines.
Some vehicles have shown excessive nitrogen oxide emissions even after the software updates – aka the emissions “fix” – according to the Federal Managing Director of the environmental aid, Jurgen Resch.
We’re not surprised by the results, and we’re not surprised that VW are facing yet another legal action either!

VW are doing better with admitting liability nowadays… well, in the U.S. they are!
On 10th March, VW pleaded guilty in the U.S. over the ‘dieselgate’ scandal. However, it doesn’t reflect their position in Europe. NY Times states that the ‘troubles may be just beginning’ on the continent, and we agree.
Ultimately though, victims here in the U.K. are being denied access to justice, yet our U.S. counterparts are receiving damages.

Volkswagen is set to plead guilty for several felony counts in America.
As well as paying out billions in fines and settlements, Volkswagen are set to be entering a plea agreement with U.S. authorities to plead guilty to charges, and pay a further $4.3 billion for their wrong doings.
Volkswagen has been charged for:
In the latest turn of events, VW has indicated that it may bring legal action against a former chairman, Ferdinand Piech. This was after Mr Piech allegedly informed the supervisory board about the potential cheating of diesel emission test in March 2015.
The report that was published stated that Mr Piech had highlighted the issue with the former CEO, Martin Winterkorn, and several other members of the supervisory board.
This suspiciously led to Mr Piech’s exit as Chairman.

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer has given his approval for 625 Volkswagen dealers to be paid a fixed sum over 18 months for the negative impact of the VW emissions scandal has caused on their businesses.
Split between the hundreds of dealerships, each one will receive around $1.85 million over the year and a half period. Dealers have reportedly been hit by a mountain of complaints and abuse by disgruntled vehicle owners, and their sales have dropped dramatically due to the huge impact of the scandal on VW’s reputation. Therefore an initial sum of $270 million will be provided for prior payments and an extra $175 million will be given over 18 months for ongoing sales incentives.
