Those who have ever sued Amazon, please help ?

[ProfBed]

I don't have any of that anymore, it was several years ago and settled so I had no need for the documentation but in one case they settled before the defence was filed.

Would Amazon settle in a case where the amount in-question is quiet high but the claim you've filed is fully valid and cannot be defended ? (assuming that your claim is really 100% valid with no possible defence against it)

[atticus]

That is one reason why people settle cases.

Your claim can be a valid one but there isn't 100% guarantee that you will win because it depends on various factors as I've mentioned like how well you prepare your case and evidence. But as Atticus has said, that is possibly one way they might settle although saying that a claim is 100% valid and cannot be defendant at all is somewhat subjective.

Quite often, it comes down to commercial viability i.e. whether the cost of defending worth it over the cost of settlement. If the claim is valued at £300 but the cost of instructing lawyers from beginning to end is going to end up being £5,000 then any sensible company will probably settle the issue. However, I have seen other large corporates that are willing to go the distance (Currys being one example) and take their chances, especially if they have their own in-house legal team.

You can't predict the outcome so you have to take a chance. If you are confident there is a good chance of success, then take the risk and see what happens. Worst case, you may be out of pocket a few hundred quid.

At which court stage does an out-of-court settlement usually get offered by Amazon EU Sárl ?

[atticus]

Do you really think that any answers here will represent a statistically valid sample?

Right.. i am just hopeless, sorry.

Unfortunately, I have nothing further to add to this thread so I'm not going to reply anymore.

Either issue a claim against Amazon or don't, but I suggest you stop dithering.

Hello,

I have successfully sued Amazon Services Europe S.A.RL. The company vigorously defends itself in pre-action correspondence, but as soon as I submitted my case, they just sent a paperwork asking for all evidence which I have and once I provided it, they voluntarily lost the case and then we negotiated a settlement. They did not submit a defense. Actually, they were doing everything to avoid a single court hearing. Amazon doesn’t want any precedent in which they are being sued. They don’t want others to look up cases involving Amazon and court decisions. I think that unless you have a really vexatious case, then they will want to settle once you submit the case.
