A class action launched against Isuzu Motors Limited in the Federal Court of Australia in 2024 is reaching a significant stage, with a deadline for group members who wish to opt out approaching. They also allege breaches of statutory guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law and claim Isuzu engaged in unconscionable conduct. Piper Alderman and litigation funder Woodsford are seeking compensation – including both reduction-in-value and compensatory damages – for group members. Isuzu filed its first defence in February 2025, followed by an amended claim from the applicants and a further defence from Isuzu. Group members have until April 8, 2026 to opt out of the class action if they choose, with opt-out notices being distributed by court-approved channels.
