Australian law firm launches its own ‘dieselgate’ class action on behalf of Mercedes-Benz owners
A successful $1 billion lawsuit in the US against German car giant Mercedes-Benz last year has prompted an Australian law firm to launch a class action against the company seeking ‘hundreds of millions of dollars’ for allegedly misleading owners about emissions from certain diesel models.
Compensation law firm Gerard Malouf and Partners (GMP Law) says it has filed a class action against Mercedes-Benz in the Victorian Supreme Court after enlisting assistance from the legal eagles who took Mercedes-Benz to court in the US.
The claim alleges that between 2008 and 2018, Mercedes installed ‘cheat devices’ to manipulate the reading of diesel gas emissions in order to pass regulatory testing.
