Volkswagen loses bid to have Dieselgate lawsuit dismissed

Lawyers were celebrating today after the High Court refused an attempt by Volkswagen to have a class action suit dismissed.

The car giant has been plagued by the “dieselgate” emissions scandal since 2015 when it emerged it had installed devices to rig its pollution emissions data.

Anexo, a credit hire and legal firm, welcomed that news.

Alan Sellers, executive chairman of Anexo, said: “The Board is pleased that the High Court has ruled VW’s attempt to strike out the deceit element of the claims against it to be without merit. This follows the ruling against them last year.

“It is now incumbent on VW to acknowledge its responsibility in this matter and agree a settlement with all those affected by its actions, as it has done in many other jurisdictions. We continue to investigate the pursuit of similar claims against other manufacturers. These have the potential to be of significant value to claimants and to the Group.”

Anexo plc (LON:ANX) is a specialist integrated credit hire and legal services group focused on providing replacement vehicles to consumers who have been involved in a non-fault accident.
