An Upper Austrian, one of the numerous claimants in the VW diesel scandal, now offered his legal expenses insurance 1,000 euros if he did not pursue the lawsuit. The VW driver’s lawyer speaks of interference.
The ruling of the European Court of Justice on the VW diesel scandal in mid-July made Upper Austria optimistic. The ECJ found that the fraudulent software had almost certainly not been improved.
The VW driver from Enns owns a Golf with a scandalous engine and had sued VW. But now he received a letter from his legal aid insurer offering him 1,000 euros if he withdraws the lawsuit. His Linz lawyer Michael Poduschka: “The insurance company states that it can be assumed that the procedure will be rejected. She argues with expert opinion about a completely different engine type.” After several years of waiting, the car owner concerned feels that the letter is the “next left”.

Poduschka, who expects the process to end on a positive note: “It annoys me that the insurer intervenes in a process and confuses customers. Your legal opinion is not only incorrect, but was represented by an unauthorized person, a clerk. That’s why we check a submission under the Corner Writer Ordinance, which is intended to protect against incorrect advice.”
