Diesel Emissions Group Litigation (Case Id: 5490)

Diesel Emission Claims

320% OF MIN FUNDED

Partnership funding of £125,000 to £500,000 required to fund a portfolio of UK diesel emission claims against three large car manufacturers, with a payout on a “first to settle” basis. The proceeds will fund the law firm’s claim acquisition costs and other expenses. For this law firm, AxiaFunder has previously raised £1,460,000 of diesel emission funding via Offer ID 5393, Offer ID 5429 and Offer ID 5459 and £3,515,000 of housing disrepair funding via 10 Offers. The claims against the three defendants form part of Group Litigation Orders. Each group litigation is run by 2 large law firms with support from several client support law firms— one of which is funded by this Offer. There is evidence of NOx emissions breaches exceeding the permitted levels by up to 4x+ by all three defendants, allegedly concealed by defeat devices. Counsel’s advice is positive for these groups of claims. In addition, one defendant has already been fined by the European authority related to its involvement in a cartel with other car manufacturers that restricted competition in reducing diesel emissions. Another car manufacturer has already settled the UK claims based on similar facts for over £190m. The law firms running the claims have strong alignment of incentives. If the first claims settle between 18-24 months, investors will have a Multiple on Capital of up to 2.7x, with further potential increases if the claims take longer to resolve. This Investment Offer has an attractive risk reward profile, in our view, with an expected return of c 38.5% per annum, benefitting from a payout if the claims against any defendant are successful. If the claims are unsuccessful against all three defendants, investors are unlikely to recover any of their investment.

Litigation funding experts


AxiaFunder is a litigation funding platform, which offers investors direct access to pre-vetted commercial litigation investment opportunities that we expect to offer attractive risk-adjusted returns.

Similarly, claimants with meritorious claims can access capital through the AxiaFunder platform, enabling their cases to progress. Once claimants are fully funded to trial, defendants very often become more willing to have meaningful settlement discussions.

How to Invest in Lawsuits with AxiaFunder

We guide you through the process from registration to investment on the AxiaFunder platform.

Guaranteed funding potentially available


1
Although AxiaFunder is reliant on the crowd to fund each litigation case, we have entered an arrangement with another Partner company that can guarantee litigation funding for a minimum agreed number of cases, if those cases aren't fully funded on the platform before the offer deadline.
2
Before a case goes on the funding platform, the Partner reviews it and confirms how much of it (if any) they will commit to funding if Axia's investors don't take up the full offer. This helps provide more certainty for claimants that funds will be available to support their litigation.
3
All approved cases are first offered to AxiaFunder's investors. If the case is not fully funded, the deficit is then funded by the Partner, provided that their committed capital is sufficient to fund the deficit completely. (Of course, an excessively large deficit results in the offer being cancelled).
AxiaFunder's data evaluation for case assessment is powered by Solomonic litigation analytics
