Are you eligible to claim up to 100% emissions compensation?
You could be eligible to claim up to 100% of the purchase price of your vehicle in an emissions case for compensation. For some carmakers and manufacturers, this could mean damages amounts of up to £90,000 in some cases for high-value models affected.
Even for the average price, if you claim up to 100% in damages then we are still looking at a potential average of around £12,000 to £28,000 based on a quick google search just now!
So, the question you probably want answering is how you could claim up to 100% of the purchase price of your vehicle? It sounds high – and it is – but there is a sound legal basis for it.
The basis for this is pursuing damages using a vital piece of legislation called the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 – or “CPUT”, as we often shorten it to. These regulations state that you may be eligible to claim a percentage of the purchase price if you have been subjected to a breach of CPUT.
The regulations look at the seriousness of the prohibited practice with reference to:
(a) the behaviour of the person who engaged in the practice
(b) the impact of the practice on the consumer
(c) the time that has elapsed since the prohibited practice took place.
The percentage can then be determined based on the following:
(a) if the prohibited practice is more than minor, it is 25%
(b) if the prohibited practice is significant, it is 50%
(c) if the prohibited practice is serious, it is 75%
(d) if the prohibited practice is very serious, it is 100%.
So, what could a court consider to be serious? Whilst allegations that carmakers are facing are being strongly denied, we are talking about the potential that emissions regulations have been cheated through the use of technology that could amount to a defeat device. In our view, purposefully cheating emissions regulations that are there to protect human health and the environment could only ever be classed as very serious.
If CPUT can apply in your case, we may be able to pursue this as one of the avenues of damages for you, and you could be eligible to claim up to 100% of the purchase price you paid for your vehicle.
