At Your Lawyers – The Car Emissions Lawyers – we have built a solid reputation as experts in diesel emissions litigations. Our journey in this area of law began from the outset of the Volkswagen “dieselgate” scandal way back in 2015, when the revelation that Volkswagen had been allegedly cheating emissions tests shook the world.
We have fought to see that Volkswagen can be held accountable for emissions fraud, taking on claims for the affected customers soon after the controversy emerged. In early 2016, we initiated High Court proceedings against Volkswagen, the first law firm in England and Wales to do so. We were later appointed to the Steering Committee responsible for the overall conduct of the litigation.
The VW NOx Emissions Litigation later led to the High Court’s determination that the software code hidden deep within the affected vehicles amounted to an unlawful “defeat device”. Since then, a number of further allegations have come to the fore with other well-known carmakers now in the firing line.
Our scrutiny of these manufacturers is still in the investigations stage, but we can also take on claims now for anyone else who has been affected by the alleged deceit of carmakers.
Our experience in group actions and emissions claims
Even before we ventured into emissions litigation, we already had experience of bringing actions against companies on behalf of large numbers of claimants. Your Lawyers’ status as a consumer action law firm has seen us succeed in taking on powerful companies and developing experience in this area of law that has given us the skills and expertise needed to hold more companies to account.
In group action claims, we have the strength of numbers behind us, and we have used this collective force in our emissions claims. Your Lawyers – The Car Emissions Lawyers – has supported many claimants and worked collaboratively with other firms to present a united front against car manufacturers.
Using the systems and knowledge that we developed in the Volkswagen NOx Emissions GLO, we have since launched actions against other carmakers, including Mercedes, Porsche, Fiat, Nissan & Renault, and Jaguar Land Rover.
Making diesel emissions claims
When you claim with Your Lawyers – The Car Emissions Lawyers – you can trust that we bring experience and knowledge of emissions litigation and the relevant consumer law to the table. Based on our current investigations, we believe that claims against other carmakers may mirror those against Volkswagen, but we are also prepared for any new developments that may arise.
Many more future diesel emissions claims could be brought on the basis of alleged deceit, as it seems that more manufacturers might have misled their customers into believing that their vehicles were compliant with emissions regulations, when it may emerge that this was far from true. There may also be a breach of the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations, which could entitle claimants to recover up to 100% of the purchase price of their vehicles.
As things stand, carmakers continue to aggressively deny that they have done anything wrong.
