Claimant law firms seek appeal in Diesel emissions legal battle
cityam·
- Claimant law firms representing over 1 million motorists are seeking permission to appeal a July High Court judgment in the "Dieselgate" emissions legal battle.
- The initial trial involved claims against 20 carmakers, alleging they installed prohibited defeat devices, though the court previously ruled in favor of manufacturers for 17 of the vehicles.
- The upcoming appeal led by firms like Leigh Day and Pogust Goodhead will challenge the judge's narrow interpretation of emissions regulations and prohibited defeat devices.
