High Court requests Schedule of Claimant Information forms in relation to Mercedes-Benz group claim

(Oilandgaspress) A £1bn group claim against Mercedes-Benz has taken a major step forward after the High Court requested that significant legal paperwork be submitted.

Around 330,000 motorists could be entitled to compensation in the landmark case, which alleges the German outfit illegally fitted ‘defeat devices’ to diesel vehicles in order to swerve emissions tests. The company made its first appearance in the High Court in relation to the case back in February and things are now beginning to speed up.Mercedes-Benz itself paid 250,000 American consumers an average of $3,290 each after admitting to cheating emissions laws. The firm was also fined $1.4bn by the US Government. The UK claim has been valued at around £1bn by some experts but Mercedes has vowed to fight the claims.
