Ninth Circuit Says States, Counties Can Sue VW in Dieselgate Cases

Home / Case Results / Ninth Circuit Says States, Counties Can Sue VW in Dieselgate Cases

“This opinion reaffirms the rights of state and local authorities, such as Harris County, to enforce penalties for post-sale tampering with automobile emission control devices and to proceed against Volkswagen for its unlawful conduct,” said nationally prominent Houston attorney Richard Mithoff. Mithoff was retained in 2015 by Harris County to lead a team of local lawyers in representing Harris County, including Russell Post, Earnest Wotring and Bennie Agosto.
