High Court spares 5,000 late-served Dieselgate claims but makes claimants share costs
Mr Justice Constable refused to strike out claims by about 5,000 Dieselgate claimants whose solicitors, Bingham Long, served the claim form after the cut-off in the Peugeot, Citroën and DS group litigation order. He gave them 21 days to serve particulars of claim and stayed the claims outside the group litigation, but ordered them to pay their share, nearly £1 million, of the adverse costs order that followed July's liability ruling.
