Court backs VW damages claims
May 25, 2020
Business US authorities banned the affected cars after the cheat software was discovered, triggering claims for compensation.
Volkswagen must pay compensation to owners of vehicles with rigged diesel engines in Germany, a court ruled on Monday, dealing a fresh blow to the automaker almost five years after its emissions scandal erupted. The ruling by Germany’s highest court for civil disputes, which will allow owners to return vehicles for a partial refund of the purchase price, serves as a template for about 60,000 lawsuits that are still pending with lower German courts. Volkswagen admitted in September 2015 to cheating emissions tests on diesel engines, a scandal which has already cost it more than 30 billion euros (Sh3.5 trillion) in regulatory fines and vehicle refits, mostly in the United States.
