Bought or leased a new or used truck over 6t between 1997 and January 2015? See below latest update from Richard James Smith on the Road Haulage Association (RHA) legal action seeking redress on behalf of the industry. Richard, Ellie Kenyon and I are running a series of webinars to answer questions and update on the opt in process. See link to the website below which provides details on the #truckcartel, what the RHA is doing and why your interests are best served by opting in to the claim. Backhouse Jones Solicitors #litigation
Thank you to everyone who joined the second Road Haulage Association (RHA) Truck Cartel legal action webinar today. Over 150 claimants were updated on the next steps, including how to opt in from September by confirming they have read the Rule 81 Notice, providing us with the VOL information, and explaining that the collective proceedings order (CPO) is an instrument that allows us to go to trial if a settlement is not forthcoming or acceptable. This week, I was reminded of the importance of the CPO when one of the truck manufacturers, DAF, wrote to industry members suggesting that they may offer direct settlements, although not providing any detail as to what they were proposing. We found some of the information provided to be misleading and unbalanced. The Truck Cartel legal action has been constructed on economies of scale with investors, which is intended to bring the best return to businesses of all sizes, for both new and used trucks. The critical nature of opting in to the claim and providing the VOL information in a timely manner is due to the opt-in window closing in December 2024. I ask all 18,000 claimants to opt in and provide this information as soon as possible after we have sent you further instructions. This will allow us to process the high volume of opt-ins and start validating the trucks affected by this cartel activity. Over the last 7 years, we have set several precedents in this case, one of which was obtaining the first ever opt-in CPO. The manufacturers have fought us hard at every turn over these 7 years, which is why I find it strange that they are now suggesting they may seek direct settlements with industry members. During this time, businesses have ceased to trade, have gone into administration and passed away, losing their right to compensation as a result of the manufacturers’ actions. If you wish to refresh your memory on why this claim which is being brought by your trade association is the best for you, please visit - https://lnkd.in/e73A2p9V Any queries or comments are welcome.

The importance of consistency, everyone taking ownership and being agile, flexible and responsive are key strands throughout the article. A very worthwhile read. #bus #coach #compliance Tim Deakin Flix
