The High Court in London has begun a three-month hearing to determine whether "defeat devices" were used to manipulate motor emissions rules, in a case representing 1.6 million car owners.
According to the opening statements,
"The law supports our case at every turn", indicating confidence in their claims.
The case, known as the Pan-NOx group litigation, is being heard by The Honourable Lady Justice Cockerill DBE and is expected to run for three months, with a possible additional hearing for financial redress in October next year.
This case comes ten years after the "dieselgate" scandal was first exposed.
