Case update

On 17 July 2024, the Federal Court of Australia ordered that a separate class action commenced against Jaguar Land Rover Australia be consolidated with the Maurice Blackburn proceeding to form a consolidated Jaguar Land Rover class action.  The other class action was a proceeding previously conducted by Gilbert + Tobin, called the “Greentree” proceeding, and the Maurice Blackburn-led proceeding was called the “Jennings” proceeding. 

Following consolidation, Maurice Blackburn and Quinn Emanuel (who took over from Gilbert + Tobin) are now jointly conducting the consolidated Jaguar Land Rover class action on behalf of the lead applicants and group members. The consolidated proceeding is also supported by litigation funders Balance Legal Capital and Fortress Investment Group (ex-Vannin).

Following consolidation, we are currently developing a new joint website which will:

  • provide group members with additional information about the Jaguar Land Rover class action, including access to court documents such as pleadings and court orders; and
  • allow group members to register their claims and interest in receiving periodic updates about the case.

We encourage you to periodically visit this page, which will be updated once registrations have re-opened.


What is the Jaguar Land Rover class action about?

The Jaguar Land Rover class action has been brought on behalf of group members (see table below) who acquired the relevant models of diesel Land Rover, Range Rover and Jaguar motor vehicles, other than by way of auction or for the purpose of re-supply, between 1 July 2015 and 8 August 2024 in Australia.

The class action relates to affected vehicles that contain an exhaust filter system, including a DPF, designed to reduce emissions in order to meet Euro 6 emissions standards. Broadly speaking, the action alleges that the DPF system is defective and the affected vehicles have a propensity to experience various problems including engine oil dilution and contamination, degradation of engine parts and the DPF system, blockage in various parts of the DPF system, diminished vehicle performance, entering into limp-mode without warning and greater servicing requirements.

The class action alleges that Jaguar Land Rover failed to comply with the guarantee of acceptable quality under the Australia Consumer Law and engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct. 

The class action seeks to recover compensation for loss and damage on behalf of consumers with vehicles affected by the DPF issues. It does not seek to claim for loss or damage which is not related to the DPF system.
