Lower Saxony is Volkswagen’s second largest shareholder, and reportedly has no plans to sue the German carmaker for damages following the emissions scandal. Lower Saxony has a veto power on Volkswagen’s supervisory board and has a fifth of voting rights as well.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Stephan Weil believes there is currently no legal basis to make a claim, so “as a result there are no plans for a lawsuit.”<\/p>\n

This news came not long after the state of Bavaria announced they will<\/strong> be suing Volkswagen, making them the first regional government in the home country of Volkswagen to make a claim.
\n
\nThe German carmakers are offering its affected U.S. car owners up to $10,000 each in compensation after it was discovered that Volkswagen diesel cars were fitted with software that could cheat emissions tests. However, Volkswagen are refusing to offer a monetary form of compensation to EU customers, and are instead just recalling EU cars and rectifying the problem.<\/p>\n

The European Commission is opposed to Volkswagen only compensating U.S. customers and warns of further damage to the company’s reputation by failing to compensate EU customers as well.<\/p>\n

Although we don’t really know anything about German law, we’re confident in being able to say that we firmly believe there is a clear legal basis for claims to be made here in the UK, and we plan to fight them all the way!<\/p>\n

Legal action<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bavaria is one of many to join to group who are taking legal action against Volkswagen including South Korea and the United States. The United States recently received a settlement proposal of $15 billion for U.S. customers.<\/p>\n
