Leading class action law firm Maurice Blackburn has announced an investigation into a potential consumer law case against Volkswagen amid its global pollution rigging scandal.
While it has not been confirmed yet whether any cars on the Australian market are among the 11 million vehicles admitted to by Volkswagen to carry the emissions-hiding software, the firm's class action principal Damian Scattini believed that it was likely to affect Australian car owners.
"We believe that if it is confirmed that Australian cars are impacted then consumers may have grounds to take action against Volkswagen, including pushing for extended warranties given people as yet are still in the dark about the full impacts of this issue," he said.
