 Cabraser would also lead the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee (PSC)
to hear cases pertaining to Volkswagen's usage of software to evade
emissions limits, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District
Of California said.
Earlier in December, Volkswagen and the U.S. Department of Justice
had both urged the U.S. Judicial Panel on multi-district litigation
to send the cases to Detroit, but were ultimately assigned the
Northern District of California in San Francisco, where the first
Volkswagen case in the country was filed.
The court said it has appointed 21 attorneys to the PSC in addition
to Cabraser for speedy resolution and has also appointed Van Eaton
as the government coordinating counsel.
