Volkswagen has admitted that 1.2m cars have been fitted with a device that cheats on recording the level of emissions. But Leigh Day has now written to new chief executive Matthias Muller and Volkswagen's lawyers, saying: 'If it is found that defeat devices have been used in our clients’ vehicles, this undoubtedly amounts to a misrepresentation and a breach of contract.'
Roundtable meeting
The Leigh Day letter requests that talks begin in order to establish a settlement scheme, 'to ensure that vehicle owners are appropriately and speedily compensated whilst minimising legal costs. We therefore propose that a roundtable meeting is held as soon as possible and we look forward to hearing from you to allow arrangements for the same to be made.' Source: City AM
