PROPOSED SETTLEMENT OF THE TOYOTA DPF CLASS ACTIONS
The parties have agreed to settle the Williams DPF Class Action (and related Taylor DPF Class Action) for $750 million (inclusive of costs and funding payments) in full and final satisfaction of Group Members’ Claims.
The Proposed Settlement is subject to Court approval. The Court will only approve the Proposed Settlement if it is satisfied that the Proposed Settlement is fair and reasonable having regard to the interests of Group Members as a whole. The Court will decide whether to approve the Proposed Settlement at a hearing on 20 November 2026.
If the Court approves the Proposed Settlement, the Settlement Sum, less any costs and funding payments approved by the Court, will be distributed to Registered Group Members in accordance with a Settlement Distribution Scheme to be approved at the hearing.
If you have started, but not yet completed and submitted, your registration, you should proceed immediately to provide any missing details and submit your registration form so that the amount of money you may be entitled to receive from the Proposed Settlement can be calculated.
