A total of about
1,400 lawsuits have been lodged at the regional court in
Braunschweig near Volkswagen's (VW) Wolfsburg headquarters, the
court said on Wednesday.
The Braunschweig court said it received some 750 lawsuits on
Monday alone, which marked the first business day after the
one-year anniversary of VW's diesel emissions test-rigging
scandal.
It said it brought in extra staff to process the suits submitted
by shareholders concerned that Sept. 18, the day VW's
manipulations were uncovered a year ago, may be the deadline to
file.
