W faces class actions
Volkswagen faces the prospect of a massive legal battle over the emissions-fixing scandal, as customers seek redress.
Several legal firms have already filed class action lawsuits. The latest is Clifford Law of Chicago, who argues that consumers who bought a VW car have been shortchanged.
Sky News has the details:
A US law firm has begun a class action lawsuit against Volkswagen over the “defeat devices” used to fool exhaust emissions tests.
Robert Clifford, partner at Chicago’s Clifford Law, said the impact on consumers was “massive” and that car buyers had not got what they paid for.
Mr Clifford said people were also affected because of “diminution of value” - meaning their car could now be worth less.
The law suit has been filed at a district court in northern Illinois.

Another law firm, Hagens Berman of Seattle, filed a lawsuit seeking class-action status over the weekend, shortly after VW was accused of cheating on US emission tests.
A Canadian legal outfit, Sutts, Strosberg LLP of Windsor, Ontario, is seeking $1bn in damages and an additional $100m.
Lawyer Harvey Strosberg told a press conference on Tuesday that
any Canadian with a Volkswagen diesel car made before September 2015 can add their name to the suit.
Faced with this phalanx of m’learned friends, Volkswagen has
hired the US law firm Kirkland & Ellis LLP.
Kirkland & Ellis led BP’s defence after the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. Volkswagen’s emissions scandal is arguably the biggest corporate crisis since BP.
