Amazon UK customers could find themselves receiving a share of £900 million in compensation following a lawsuit that has been filed against the online delivery service.
The shopping giant has been hit with accusations that it has breached competition law and manipulated customers into paying higher prices. Julie Hunter, a consumer-rights champion, is leading the accusations after she claimed that the products sold on Amazon's website and app obscure customers from finding better-value deals.
The lawsuit, which is set to be filed at the end of this month, focuses on the e-commerce company's 'Buy Box' feature, which Ms Hunter has claimed deliberately excludes independent sellers, even when they offer the same products at a cheaper price.
