The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) has confirmed in four proceedings that Audi AG is also responsible for the use of VW's EA189 engines. One of the four proceedings (BGH of November 25, 2021, case number VII ZR 257/20) was conducted by us. As a result, we were able to obtain a repayment of EUR 29,970 fight for.
The Ingolstadt Regional Court and the Munich Higher Regional Court had also previously come to the conclusion that at least one person in charge at Audi AG knew about the manipulation of the EA189 engines of the parent company VW and that the vehicles were sold anyway; now the Ingolstadt subsidiary must answer for this.
Rogert & Ulbrich provides concrete clues
In previous proceedings, the Federal Court of Justice dismissed the lawsuits against Audi AG because there was no concrete evidence that a person responsible at Audi AG knew about the illegal switch-off devices. However, we at Rogert & Ulbrich were now able to provide sufficient evidence so that the claim of our plaintiff for damages was enforced.
