30It should be clarified that, as can be seen from paragraphs 26 and 27 of this judgment, Article 21 of Regulation No 1215/2012 lays down the rules of jurisdiction for courts seised of disputes ‘over individual contracts of employment’ between an employee and his or her employer. For those rules to apply, therefore, there must be an employment relationship between the employee and the employer.
