Consumer Rights Act

The VW admission about corrupting the vehicle emissions software could bring to the table the new Consumer Rights Act that has come into force in October 2015. This new piece of legislation could implement a similar style “class action” against large Corporations like VW where each consumer will band together in a group and if affected by the breach, will automatically be included in the court action unless they “opt-out.”

Our Solicitor, Mr Ronnie Hutcheon has expressed that anyone who believes they have purchased a VW, Audi, Seat or Skoda motor vehicle should register their interest with his firm immediately as there are no guarantees at this stage that the new Consumer Rights Act will be used. It is untried and tested at this early stage and only time will tell if the new Consumer Rights Act will be the better choice for victims of the Scandal.
