SUMMARY:The ‘dieselgate’ crisis: actions and reactions from around the wo
 rld to the Volkswagen emissions control case
DESCRIPTION:The Volkswagen emissions case (also known as ‘dieselgate’) er
 upted in 2015\, when the United States Environmental Protection Agency (
 EPA) issued a notice of violation of the Clean Air Act to German automak
 er Volkswagen Group (VW). The EPA alleged that VW had programmed turboch
 arged direct injection diesel engines to activate certain emissions cont
 rols only during laboratory emissions testing\, potentially affecting ab
 out 11 million cars worldwide (500\,000 in the US). VW then became the t
 arget of regulatory investigations in multiple countries\, and received 
 thousands of claims from car buyers and other third parties. VW’s stock 
 price fell in value by a third in the days immediately following the new
 s.\n\nOur speakers include an exciting combination of the lead US govern
 ment investigator\, VW outside counsel in Europe and buyer class-action 
 counsel from Australia\, as well as commentators on litigation and corpo
 rate social responsibility aspects. The panellists will bring their expe
 rience and insight to bear on a number of issues and questions arising f
 rom the VW case. This will be a very interactive session and will provid
 e many opportunities for the audience to discuss these issues with highl
 y respected experts.
