By the end of 2017, more than 2,000 people had assigned their rights to Myright in a class-action lawsuit filed by a Berlin law firm against the German automaker. As Sophie Michaud Gigon points out, after the first failure of a German-speaking owner, the platform decided not to compete for Switzerland because the cost advances were also too high.
VW Group has already spent almost 30 billion francs on compensation and legal costs, according to the FRC. In the case filed by the German Federal Association of Consumer Associations in 2018, a settlement was reached in favor of 260,000 customers. Compensation ranged from 1,350 to 6,257 euros per person.
