44For disputes relating to employment contracts, Section 5 of Chapter II of Regulation No 44/2001 lays down a series of rules whose objective, as stated in recital 13 in the preamble to that regulation, is to protect the weaker party to the contract by means of rules of jurisdiction that are more favourable to his interests (see, to that effect, Case C-462/06 Glaxosmithkline and Laboratoires Glaxosmithkline [2008] ECR I-3965, paragraph 17).
