A £1 billion claim was filed against Amazon on behalf of retailers selling on Amazon’s UK marketplace for illegally misusing their data and manipulating the Amazon Buy Box to benefit its own commercial operation and its overall revenues and profit.
Andrew Goodacre, CEO of Bira said: I just wanted to update you on the class action claim against Amazon. It was announced early June and it has all gone a little quite. In reality that is the way these types of claims work as the courts decide on the merits of the claim. We have however passed the first hurdle and been allowed to file the claims with Amazon head offices. You may also have heard that there is a second class action against Amazon that has been announced. There are similarities with our claim, but the problem is that this may well delay progress of our claim. We will keep you posted.
