VW emissions scandal High Court case concludes
A mass litigation case brought against Volkswagen over the emissions scandal draws to a close today at the UK’s High Court.
Tens of thousands of motorists are seeking compensation from the German car giant, after VW installed software to “cheat clean air laws”. VW announced in September 2015 that 11 million vehicles worldwide were affected.
Early in the two-week proceedings, the court heard that the German carmaker “cheated” European emission rules by installing unlawful “defeat devices”.
Volkswagen argues that “the claimants did not suffer any loss at all and that the affected vehicles did not contain a prohibited defeat device”.
