California Chosen as the Venue for Volkswagen Diesel Lawsuits

On December 8, 2015, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) consolidated 513 Volkswagen diesel lawsuits and chose California federal court as the most appropriate best venue. Kreindler & Kreindler has an office in Los Angeles, CA.

According to the panel, "relevant documents and witnesses may be found in both the Northern District and throughout California, given the role played by the California Air Resources Board in
uncovering VW’s use of defeat devices on its diesel engines."

U.S. District Judge Charles R. Breyer will oversee the litigation.
