Andrew Lyons of the 12KBW Costs & Litigation Funding Team appeared in the two-day second costs management hearing in the Pan-Nox (Dieselgate) Litigation. He was instructed by Clearly Gottlieb Steen and Hamilton representing the Peugeot, Citroën, Fiat, Chrysler and Vauxhall defendants.
Mrs Justice Cockerhill sitting with Senior Costs Judge Rowley handed down judgment on 10 September 2025.
The costs budgeting was one of the largest Group Actions ever brought in this jurisdiction. The Court made very significant reductions to the claimants’ proposed budgets which were reduced from circa £50m to circa £22m.
