A top EU court has reportedly ruled that illegal defeat devices were used in certain conditions in relation to Volkswagen vehicles in Europe.
This ruling is one that we would expect given that there have been similar rulings in courts around the world and, indeed, given that there have been rulings in the UK and settlements that have taken place here already. Anyone who has yet to start an emissions claim for compensation and could be eligible to do so is being urged to make sure to sign up as soon as possible or risk missing out on the chance to claim damages.

According to Reuters, a top court in the EU has ruled that VW used illegal defeat devices in certain conditions. This news does not come as a surprise to us given that we have had rulings in the UK as part of the group action for compensation, where the software was deemed to amount to illegal defeat devices.
The court ruling from a few weeks back was from the Court of Justice of the European Unions.
We are representing thousands of people who are engaged in claims for emissions compensation here in England and Wales over allegations that several manufacturers may have used illegal defeat devices.
Since the first “Dieselgate” scandal hit the media headlines way back in September 2015, carmakers have strenuously denied that they have done anything wrong. Despite their continued strong denials, there have been plenty of successful court cases around the world which include agreements to pay damages and criminal prosecutions. Just this year we saw the first settlement against VW which involved tens of thousands of drivers having settled their compensation claims.
We, The Car Emissions Lawyers, are taking on dozens of carmakers over various allegations that all amount to the possibility that emissions regulations have been cheated. If we are able to prove any of the allegations that have been made, we say that victims can then be eligible to claim compensation. Anyone affected could be owed thousands of pounds in damages.
We are now seven years on from the news of the first “Dieselgate” scandal hitting the headlines, which means that we are at an advanced stage with many of the cases that we represent people for. It is important to note there will be several deadlines and limitation periods that can apply to these kinds of cases. The longer that you leave it to start to claim, the more risk there is that you miss out on receiving damages.
There have been plenty of actions in the past where people missed out on the deadlines and have lost out on the opportunity to claim tens of thousands of pounds in damages. No one can really afford to lose that kind of money, so make sure you start your emissions compensation case now here. It is quick and easy to do, and we are representing people on a No Win, No Fee basis.
