Lawyers who represent thousands of U.S. plaintiffs in Volkswagen AG’s $10 billion diesel cheating settlement are asking for a combined $333 million in fees and administrative costs, Reuters reports.
The request appears in a filing in a U.S. District Court in San Francisco. The document says the two sides have not yet agreed on how much the lawyers will be paid.
