Several leading vehicle manufacturers have been accused of fitting 'defeat' devices to their vehicles to cheat the EU and UK emissions laws.
We believe thousands of UK vehicle owners have been affected by this and are eligible to receive compensation. Leigh Day are acting on behalf of these owners, and if successful, we believe UK vehicle owners who join the claim could receive compensation worth thousands of pounds.
We are the joint-lead lawyers in the emissions litigation on behalf of UK Volkswagen owners, who recently won the first round of their emissions case against Volkswagen in the UK High Court.
In April 2020, the High Court in London found that the decision by the KBA, the German road vehicle authority, that the software was a ‘defeat device’ was binding in the English High Court.
We are not currently accepting vehicles manufactured by BMW, Citroën, Ford, Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes, Mini, Nissan, Renault, Peugeot, or Vauxhall.
