On the 30th January 2017, Tom Goodhead, led by Andrew Onslow QC of 3 Verulam Buildings, represented over 7,000 Claimants in the first hearing in the High Court, arising out of claims brought against Volkswagen AG and its subsidiaries in respect of the “Dieselgate” NOx Emissions Scandal.
Despite its public admissions of wrongdoing and settlement of claims in the United States for $14.7bn, in the UK VW continues to deny liability to compensate purchasers of affected vehicles.
Tom is instructed by Your Lawyers (working in collaboration with the global litigation firm Hausfeld LLP). Your Lawyers have a website dedicated to the action.
Tom is currently instructed in a number of other large Group Action / Product Liability claims and is happy to discuss such actions with solicitors / media / members of the public.
