A federal court judge in Australia has reportedly condemned Volkswagen for giving what they deemed as insufficient answers as to why they decided to install so-called “defeat devices” into cars before selling them all over the world.
The Judge also wanted company executives to expect to be called into Court to offer an explanation.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and law firms are currently suing Volkswagen for selling thousands of cars containing the alleged devices, with some 100,000 owners bringing claims against the major automaker in Australia.

There have been reports of car dealers seemingly taking advantage of Volkswagen owners by using a loophole to profit off the back of the Volkswagen scandal buyback scheme in the U.S., and there are fears similar activities could happen here in the U.K.
Dealers can apparently make a five figure profit by purchasing an affected car and then claiming compensation from Volkswagen.
Although VW is currently refusing any form of compensation here in the U.K., we are working with U.S. lawyers and keeping a close eye on things over there; especially when there are warnings to take heed of which may reflect over here when our fight for justice hopefully catches up to theirs.

When VW chairman Hans Dieter Poetsch defended the decision not to publish the elusive Jones Day report, we weren’t happy; and we weren’t surprised
Poetsch stated that he defends the decision not to publish to Jones Day report and suggested that the law firm’s findings were included in the guilty plea agreed with U.S. authorities. If that’s the case, why withhold the report? If VW’s stance is that the information included in the plea and / or the summary released is enough to grasp the concept of the report, why not release the full report? What possible reason could there be to not publish it, unless they were hiding something?

The pressure on Volkswagen bosses intensified earlier this year when asset management company Hermes called for a vote of no confidence against Volkswagen management.
More importantly, further focus is being drawn on the findings of the elusive Jones Day report; a report that may contain key evidence about the Volkswagen Emissions Scandal that has yet to be published. The report was the result of a meticulous investigation into the scandal, but all that has been given to the public and governments is a summary, which we say is not good enough.

In April 2017, MPs discussed the third report produced by the Transport Select Committee and the government’s response.
Following on from the lack of action from Volkswagen (VW) in the U.K., MPs Louise Ellman and David T. C. Davies raised questions to minister John Hayes as to why compensation had not been offered to VW’s customers in the U.K., as well as other questions regarding air pollution and the Government’s plan to tackle the issues.
Here’s a reminder of what went on…

Two years after Volkswagen admitted there are “emissions irregularities” with their vehicles, prosecutors are still investigating the company to find out which employees were involved in facilitating the scandal, who knew what, and who played a part in hiding the deceit from authorities.
Zaccheo Giovanni Pamio is reportedly being held in a German jail for his alleged participation in the scandal while working as the head engineer of thermodynamics for Audi’s engine development department. He has since reportedly provided German investigators with statements and evidence of his involvement and knowledge of the scandal.

The German Bundesanstalt fur Finanzdienstleistungaufsicht (BaFin) have announced they will begin investigations into Volkswagen and Daimler after allegations of price collusion and other cartel activities.
The colossal carmakers admitted to cartel authorities that secret meetings and discussions had taken place and that they reportedly did not notify investors of their activity.
Although this is not directly related to the emission scandal, it’s yet another headache for the German car giant to deal with off the back of alleged unfair practices.

The excessive air pollution caused by the Nitrous Oxide emissions from Volkswagen Group is allegedly causing early deaths for thousands in Europe, and may continue to do so unless the affected cars are made to comply with emissions legislation.
A thorough study conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has reportedly found that Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, and Seat affected vehicles are emitting so much Nitrous Oxide pollution that an estimated 3,400 people may have already died prematurely in Europe.
Once again, this news just hits home at how serious the Volkswagen Emissions Scandal truly is.

Will VW owners affected by the Volkswagen Emissions Scandal here in the UK receive compensation?
This is the BIG question…
When the scandal broke out, millions of affected owners were horrified to find out what had happened, and how the financial value of their vehicles may be affected. So could they get their money back? In full, or even in part?
At the break of the scandal, VW UK managing director Paul Willis said that VW will not be compensating UK owners – and he hasn’t changed his remorseless tune…

The VW Group initially set aside $18.2 billion (14.9 billion pounds) to pay for its wrongdoing in the emissions scandal.
However, the way these settlements are going, the German automakers will have to put their cheque-books on standby, as VW are set to pay-out another $4.3 billion (£3.5 billion) in the latest settlement.
There is, of course, our action here in the U.K. as well which will cost them a pretty penny too.
