Allianz Class Action

Settlement Approval

On 2 April 2025, the Supreme Court of Victoria approved the settlement of the Allianz car dealer add-on insurance class action for $170 million. In approving the settlement, the Court indicated that it was satisfied the settlement is fair and reasonable and in the interests of all group members.

The Court also approved the proposed Settlement Distribution Scheme and appointed Maurice Blackburn as Scheme Administrator, responsible for administering the settlement. A copy of the Court approved Settlement Distribution Scheme is available here.

There is now an appeal period, which will expire in early June 2025.

All group members that registered by the court-ordered deadline of 15 July 2024, along with a small number of late registrants that registered up to and including by 10 March 2025, are now able to participate in the settlement administration.

A copy of the Court Judgment and Settlement Approval Orders are available here.

Please note that, because the Maurice Blackburn has been appointed as Scheme Administrator, responsible for administering the settlement, this website will be unavailable from 4 June 2025 (assuming no appeal of the settlement is filed).

What’s next?

There is nothing you need to do until Maurice Blackburn contact you.

At this stage, it is not possible to tell you if you will be eligible to receive compensation from the settlement. This will depend upon an assessment of your eligibility during the Administration (see below for further detail).

Further, it is not possible to tell you how much you may receive by participating in the settlement administration. This will depend on several factors, including how many registered group members are eligible and how many claims are assessed. Maurice Blackburn, as the Scheme Administrator, will not be able to provide you with an estimate of your entitlement, if any, until all assessments have been completed.

Settlement Administration Timeline

It is too early to provide a timeline for the Administration. Once the Appeal Period has expired, Maurice Blackburn, as the Scheme Administrator, will be in a better position to provide a more detailed timeframe.

At this stage, Maurice Blackburn do not expect to start distributing payments to eligible group members until mid-late 2026. This is an estimate only and it may take more time.

Maurice Blackburn will continue to keep registered group members updated as Maurice Blackburn work through the Administration process, including as to when they can expect to receive a payment (if eligible). We encourage you to regularly check Maurice Blackburn’s Allianz Class Action website for updates.
