Fines for emissions cheating: separate to claims

Many fines for emissions cheating having been issued to several carmakers around the world. Although regulatory fines have not been much of a thing here in the UK, some of the major brands embroiled in the “Dieselgate” scandals have settled compensation cases instead.

It is important to understand that fines for emissions cheating are entirely separate matters to any compensation claims when it comes to how the law works here in the UK. Monetary penalties are matters for governments and regulatory bodies, whereas the right to pursue a compensation claim for civil damages is a private matter. To claim compensation, a person would need to instruct a specialist law firm and pursue the damages they want to recover. Even if no fines are issued, this does not mean that you cannot pursue a private case.

Diesel Emissions settlements in the UK

This year saw the first settlement in respect of emissions scandals here in the UK which involved Volkswagen who were at the centre of the original emissions scandal. Carmakers continue to deny they have done anything wrong and have been refusing to issue compensation to people for several years. As such, this first tranche of successful claims for VW group vehicles is a monumental milestone in the fight for emissions justice in the UK.

Whilst carmakers have continued to deny that they have done anything wrong, and whilst it is true that different carmakers may have engaged in different behaviour which does not mean that they may have broken the law, we believe that there will be further settlements. We believe that there is enough information and evidence to show that other carmakers may also have broken the law. If we can prove this then we can, hopefully, settle many more claims in the future.

Make sure you do not miss out on any chance to settle a claim – start your compensation case now quickly and easily here.
