Burford Capital has announced it is giving additional funding to law firm Hausfeld to take on Volkswagen AG after the emissions scandal.
In September, the German car giant admitted it installed “defeat devices” in millions of diesel vehicles around the world.
The devices would detect when the car was being tested for emissions and adjust the its operation to comply with emissions standards.
The announcement came after Burford made €30m (£21.1m) in financing available to Hausfeld for its clients’ German competition and other commercial claims in November.
