I may not be a lawyer but I almost became one and have studied UK/EU law.
The small claims process within the EU is the same as the small claims court in the UK, it's just for cases that cross borders. Maybe calling it a small claims court was not specific enough but it's still viewed as the same process for reclaiming damages. The small claims process.
THERE IS NO NEED TO TURN UP. I'm Not sure why you capitalised that but it's simply not true.
An oral hearing can be requested but This does not mean you have to turn up. Something like Skype would be perfectly acceptable.
But there is very little if any chance oral hearing would be requested in This situation anyway because
1- Amazon would never turn turn up as they would have to send a lawyer which would be charged at a days work or more with prep.
2- but hypothetically if they did and they for some reason requested An oral hearing it would not be granted. The facts would be black and white and the whole process is to reduce time and costs. Every decision the court makes hasty abide by that philosophy so a request for an oral,hearing would be turned down.
Anyway. If you want to argue that fair enough but I really am leaving it at that.
