‘You can find what you need it’s good enough’
What is this claim about?
Mark Mclaren Class Representative Limited (the class representative) has been authorised by the Competition Appeal Tribunal to bring proceedings against companies whom have been found by the European Commission to have infringed EU competition law in relation to deep sea carriage services for new motor vehicles on routes to/from the EEA. The Class Representative believes that this conduct led to the prices of delivery charges being distorted and that purchasers of new vehicles (including consumers and businesses) paid higher delivery charges than they would otherwise.
What happens next?
The claim is being brought on behalf of a so-called “opt-out class”, meaning that anyone who meets the definition of the Class (and were based in the UK on 20 May 2022) will be included in the claim for compensation automatically and be bound by the result, unless they expressly opt out, formally removing themselves from the Claim. In simple terms, if you meet the definition of the Class and were based in the UK on 20 May 2022, you will be in the Claim unless you take steps to opt out.
If you wish to opt out:
Any member of the Class may write to the Class Representative by 12 August 2022 to ask to leave claim. To opt out, a Class member can visit the claim website for more information, or write by email to optout@cardeliverycharges.com or by post to the below PO Box address.
Alternatively, if you wish to opt in:
Anyone who meets the definition to be included in the Class but who was not based in the UK on 20 May 2022 has the right to be included in the claim to recover losses suffered, by formally opting in. A person who wishes to opt in should do so by 12 August 2022.
