As a special purpose vehicle, we are permitted under Dutch law to receive assignments of claims in exchange for an agreement to prosecute and return proceeds to the assignors. This allows us to aggregate the claims of a large group of cartel victims in a single action and serve as the plaintiff in that litigation. This means that we (and not you) bear the brunt of the litigation burdens, including funding the litigation, hiring the lawyers, retaining the experts, and negotiating with the cartel members. Further, we are governed by an independent board of directors that ensures that your best interests are fully protected at all times.

Joining a group of similarly-situated claimants has a number of benefits, including: (1) counteracting cooperation among the cartel members; (2) allowing cost sharing of litigation and economics support; (3) protection from supplier retaliation; (4) minimizing the chance that the cartel members can play plaintiffs against each other; and (5) maximizing settlement leverage and aggregate settlements.

Claimants will execute deeds of assignment and provide Stichting Truck Cartel Recovery with the documents and data that support their claim. We will provide claimants with periodic updates on the litigation and pay them out of any settlement amounts that are recovered, less costs.
