28Regarding the context of Article 4(3) of the Hague Protocol, it should be noted that that provision forms part of a system of connecting rules introduced by that protocol, which primarily provides for the application of the law of the State of the creditor’s habitual residence under Article 3 thereof. The authors of the Hague Protocol considered that that law was the most closely connected with the creditor’s situation and appeared therefore to be the best adapted to govern the specific problems which the maintenance creditor may encounter (judgment of 7 June 2018, KP, C‑83/17, EU:C:2018:408, paragraph 42).
