Probably, yeah. Our car industry is a driving factor of our economy, so politics doesn't punish them as hard as they punish other parties.

- josefx 8y agoAfter a quick google I get two results that disagree: * wikipedia claims ongoing investigations against 37 people involved * Politicians are working on the Musterfeststellungsklage, a class action equivalent for the German justice system. Explicitly so that buyers have better odds suing VW.

- krautsourced 8y agoThe proposal for the latter has already been hollowed out in such a way that the likelihood of any customer actually being able to sue a company is rather slim. Only a narrow band of customer representatives are even allowed to sue. And it's going to be exclusive, meaning the first one to sue locks out everyone else for good. So if your company fucks up? Get some stooge to sue and fail, before anyone else gets a chance.
