21According to the Court’s settled case-law, the jurisdiction provided for in Article 4 of Regulation No 1215/2012, namely that the courts of the Member State in which the defendant is domiciled are to have jurisdiction, constitutes the general rule. It is only by way of derogation from that general rule that the regulation provides for rules of special and exclusive jurisdiction for cases, which are exhaustively listed, in which the defendant may or must, depending on the case, be sued in the courts of another Member State (judgments of 7 March 2018, E.ON Czech Holding, C‑560/16, EU:C:2018:167, paragraph 26, and of 12 September 2018, Löber, C‑304/17, EU:C:2018:701, paragraph 18).
