Abstract
One in every three cars on UK roads is fuelled by diesel (www.smmt.co.uk—Facts and Figures), and according to VW, just under 1.2 million cars in the UK are affected by Dieselgate (http://www.volkswagen.co.uk/owners/emissionsinfo). As such, it is unsurprising that Dieselgate has been widely reported in the UK. Yet the reaction in the UK has perhaps been modest compared to the US, where litigation and a proposed class settlement are underway.
